although maybe not since honestly, I think it was the first for a lot of people.
I remember my copy of 4.2 (Biltmore). We'd just recently upgraded from the 286 machines we had around to getting our first Pentium, and I was interested in moving from BASICA on those DOS running Compaqs to more interesting languages. This "Red Hat" thing had compilers for C, Pascal, and a load of other things. It mentioned something about being its own operating system which seemed odd to me, and I couldn't figure out if it was actually its own operating system, or just something that ran on top of Win32. I actually wasn't sure what I was buying in that catalogue ...
I've still never gotten that SVGA-lib Doom port working either. I can't seem to post comments to Marueen's web log anymore, so I pasted it here.
