  Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.

    A CD with RedHat on it? Pretty fancy. My first RH installation came on about three boxes of floppy disks, took hours to unpack it all. And damn right, been all uphill since.

    Does “reset and recovery” mean “wipe the hard disk and put a fresh licensed Windows install on”?

    Not needing a license for a Linux distro means that’s straightforward without a special tool.
