Stein. He's not in Israel now, as far as I know. > Because he was the one who lit the fire... Yes, if by "lit the fire" you mean "created the list". However, this description is quite confusing: for people knowing about UNIX running a UNIX at home was quite natural, and the *only* reason my first UNIX at home was Linux and not 386BSD or such was that I knew one person running 386BSD and two running Linux, which meant I could get my potential questions about Linux answered twice easier. I wasn't even aware of the existance of the list then, but managed fine reading HOWTOs and installing Slackware from floppies. This all was to say that people would run Linux in Israel even if no "social movements" existed. And what a time it was -- my 486DX with 8MB of RAM could run X, Netscape and Emacs, although the latter would be better off without X. Not to mention the fact that Linux shared the 100MB hard drive with a DOS partition (which had Windows 3.1 on it). The funny part is that I still have that machine.
