[gobolinux-users] Linux memories (AKA Linux 0.10)

Just had a flood of Linux related memories.

Came across this [1] on kerneltrap discussing LInux 0.10.  This was
the first version of Linux I used.  Came across it on some Fido BBS
back in 91.  It was a trip to use unix cmds on my 386sx/16.  Only
previous 'nix experience was Xenix on a Tandy Model 16.  Couldn't do
much with it because the BBS only had the root floppy.  Later played
with Minix and Coherent but quickly switched to OS/2 2.0 and didn't
have the HD space to dual boot.  Fall of 92 (finally had decent
internet access) I trashed OS/2 and switched to MCC and later SLS.

When did others catch the Linux bug?
