lol, but some of us are inordinately nostalgic and sentiMENTAL. I'd look at the ctimes of some of the main directories like /var, /bin or /usr. Most system files reflect when they were created/edited by the developers or maintainers, but from looking at a couple of my systems those directories seem to get created when the system is installed. In older versions of debian root would get an email from the install process and a file or 2 would get created in /root/, but that doesnt seem to happen anymore. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
