My "other" system was running ESIX, but it wasn't really mine. My real
other system was still an Apple ][+ clone ;->

I won't ask how one felt while using it! <g>

Bogus did bring us the very interesting concept of a distribution made from
a combination of unmodified source files with separate patch files. But I
never tried it, I stuck with Slackware for quite a while until my brief
stint with RH (the very first (and last) distro I obtained on a physical
CD)... and then was finally (and thankfully) converted to Debian.
