Since Arch is a rolling release, I would like to see if it can be updated from 0.1 to the current release.
-
The Arch wiki is beyond useful for just Arch itself. It's the go-to wiki for pretty much any distro in general since a lot of stuff is identical to other distros.

The start of "I use arch BTW" - Sent from my Arch machine [KEKW]
-
I use Arch version 0.1 btw!
-
Am I glad Arch exists? Yes, it saved my 2017 mac from obsolescence. Do I think it's a friendly distribution? No. You can do wonders with it, but most of it is non-trivial to the majority of computer users.

"I don't like reiserfs" - Someone's hankerin' for a murderin'.

So glad Action Retro is keeping the tradition of Weird OS Wednesdays alive. β€οΈ π

This is giving me PTSD styled flashbacks from the first PC I ever owned and couldnβt afford Windows. All I had was Slackware 3 on a CD that came with a book I bought. Coming from Amiga, that was some serious culture shock.

At 11:00 when your term goes into an alternate character set, try typing βresetβ in the shell. It might reset your termcap. :)
-
Would love to see more early Linux installs! How about Slackware next?
-
Gentoo next?
-
Very nostalgic. That was around the time I switched to Gentoo Linux after spending a year or two on Mandrakelinux as the first distro I daily-drove. I didn't realize LILO had an option for a menu though.
-
THE ONE OS TO RULE THEM ALL: TempleOS!
-
Installing arch in 2002 was a lot easier than installing debian in 1998, that's for sure.
-
Shaka, when the Archs fell...
-
i'll be honest, when you said "the original version of arch linux" i was not expecting to hear the year 2002
-
Old Gentoo / Slackware installs next. Also dig into Enlightenment maybe? the OG eyecandy DE/WM.

11:05 when your terminal gets broken like that, `stty sane` usually helps. It saved me a lot of time and I didn't knew about it for years, so I hope this information will be useful. :)
