[Gllug] BYTE 1996

[John Hearns]

I just unearthed an old copy of BYTE from February 1996.
There's an article on Linux, the author reviews and
installs Slackware.

>From the start of the article:
"You don't always get what you pay for. You can spend $1000 or more
for a fully tricked-out Unix for your PC. Or for about $25, you can
get Linux, a Unix variant..."
Hmmmmm.... wonder what Unix he means :->

Near the end:
"What mostly keeps Linux out of the major leagues ....
... lacks such needed features as mirroring, striping, fault tolerance
and journaling. The OS is also limited to single CPU systems. Torvalds
is working on multiprocesor support to change this limitation."

We've come a long way, baby!
