I installed Linux back then too. First thing I did was delete my user, home folder, and just rawdog the whole thing as root.

I may have slightly misunderstood the operating system. Later that week I saw that a new Linux kernel had come out, and did a uname -r and decided that the best thing I could do was manually compile the damn thing for my computer so I could “get the update”.

I am pretty sure I managed to even boot all the way to the terminal, but being unable to run startx. Good times.
