1994 doesn't seem to be that long ago to me either. That was the year of my first shell account (UofC as well).
My first taste of linux was painfull, though in fairness mycomputer at the time was a 386 laptop. Just imagine how long a kernel compile took. I had to get a
SLS on a 386 with 5.25 floppies here. Switched back to Win 3.1 then QNX 4
for a couple years before coming back to Linux full time on my desktop around
the time of RedHat 3.
4 hour kernel compiles seem familiar, I'm not sure if that was on the 386 or P100.
two meg RAM upgrade to just boot (RAM was $100/meg for my machine in those days).
Ah yes. Buck-a-baud, buck-a-kilobyte-of-ram, buck-a-megabyte-of-disk
Having said that I am still waiting for the day in which I actually feel like I know what I am doing.
That's a good sign. Knowing ones limits helps prevent situations where you overextend yourself and end up in deep doo doo, and also gives you known hurdles to aim for overcoming.
Still got my own hurdles, some of them change from time to time, others haven't been focused on as of yet.
