RE: Linux 8.0

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

that was a totally different product.  the TurboLinux: Redhat Edition and
TurboLinux: Slackware Edition pre-dated the actual distro.

This was a big topic of contention between me and Cliff, I didn't want to
call the distro "Turbolinux" for this very reason...

My first TurboLinux was pre-1.0, I think :-)

It said "TurboLinux edition of Red Hat Linux 4.2" on the black CD-ROM :-)
It used fvwm95 as the window manager and I think it even called itself
Red Hat :-)  This was in 1997, my first Linux distro.  

I might still have it some where, living as a drink coaster.
I'll have to look around for it :-)
