Was kinda funny. I used to like the concept of NCD Xterminals. Get one server and a bunch of cheap terminals. The problem was that an NCD cost almost as much as a new PC in those days and the only advantage was that there was no drives in them. Kinda like diskless workstations. The lines weren't really clear on whether diskless WS and Xterminal was a better choice. Turned a bunch of Sun SLC and XLS workstations into Xterminals at one point.

<br>I remember the 90s. More specifically, I remember you back at UB playing Doom on a Solaris pizzabox with what was then considered a large monitor (17" I believe) In fact, I think you were mocking me when I tried to get it to work on an NCD, but the frame rates were too low for us to play death-match :/

<br>Subject: [nflug] Let's go old, old, old school linux<br><br>
Hey guys - <div><br></div><div>I'm working on a project and I ran into a slight hiccup. I figured I'd give a shout and see if any of you old school linux users had any suggestions.
</div><div><br></div><div>I need some config files from mid 1990's linux distros. I'm doing some comparative analysis of config files (don't ask) but I'm running short on resources for some of the ancient distros. Does anyone know of a good resource on the web where I could find some?
</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Brad</div>
