Pre history
I've had a *nix machine to call my own for a long time.
It started with my parent's cast-off 386 that I swear had a crack in the motherboard. I painstakingly installed slack via floppy. This was the year I returned to Toronto from university in Waterloo. 1995 maybe?
At university I had the 386, but it had windows 3.1 on it, and I didn't use it much at all; no network connection. I think I had tried to get FreeBSD running on it, but failed miserably.
And besides I had the university computer labs I could use. They were way better, Especially when the Pentium 75 labs were opened.
So I returned to Toronto and had this 386, and had a job at University of Toronto surveying the systems and network.
By day I would wander the halls of UofT and return to a cubby hole of a desk to swap [1] floppies I was writing; so that by night , I could sit in front of _my own_ computer, and swap floppies and light up a slackware machine.
I did eventually get it to ppp+ chap into university of toronto stuff. \o/
From there I got a job at an ISP at Yonge and Maitland Street: On-It Cyber Cafe. It was an ISP in a box, with a pastry desk. Pretty hilarious in retrospect. We had a lone sun micro system, like a sparc 20 running the Netscape Suite : Email , Web service, LDAP , Radius, _integrated_ , _slick_. I did manage to login to that system, a bank of 24 cardinal modems.
