[Hampshire] How long have you been using Linux?

Whilst looking for something else I found an invoice dated 1 Nov 1994
for a copy of 'DR Linux' and another invoice dated 27 Nov 1994 for a
subscription to 'Linux Journal'

So my use of Linux certainly dates from 1994 even if I can't prove I
used it earlier but I did buy a copy of 'Linux FT' in Aug 1995
(all the above from Lasermoon in Fareham) which suggests I was
using another distro before then which I am fairly certain was
installed from floppy disks.

I swapped to RedHat 5.0 in Apr 1998 with the purchase of a box set
from The Linux Emporium for £40. I also got a copy of StarOffice
4.0 the same month and this cost me £10. Wordperfect 8 arrived in
Jun 1999.

Then followed Mandrake 7.2 in Jan 2001updated to ver 8.0 in Dec
2001.

I then got Debian Woody, 7 CD-ROM set, in Feb 2002 thus ending
forever my need to buy Linux software :-)
