  yes.  :)

  my first boot of linux was sometime before 1996 but i can't
say exactly when or what version it was.

  it came on two of the 3.5 inch floppy drive disks.

  i had a Zenith Z-Note back then, i386 it didn't even have a 
math co-processor, my checkbook register shows i bought that
in July of '92.

  i booted it, played around for a few minutes and then that
was it.  while i had plenty of unix experience from computer
labs i didn't have any real reason to do anything with it for
home use.  i was mainly using the notebook for e-mail and
usenet and that was all on Win3.1

  i didn't start using linux and Debian on a daily basis
until sometime around slink or potato.  by then i had bought
a new Dell desktop computer (which i'm using the case from
for this computer).  i still had a booting win98 and winEXP
for some time after that but as time moved on i got things
switched over from Multiplan and a few other things i no
longer cared much about.
