Translation: Break Free from the Windows Trap Here's how: Bypass limits, use micropatches, use Linux as an alternative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most PC and gaming magazines come with DVDs. I really wouldn't say that PCs with disk drives are uncommon here.
Did you guys have magazines with distro media back then? CentOS, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Knoppix, etc.
I've seen a few pics of those but it was before my time. I've only been into Linux since 2012 or so.
