Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era) in c/linux@lemmy.ml

So I downloaded slackware on dozens of disks.

This is no joke. When I downloaded Slackware in '95 or '96, it was over 100 3.5" floppies of 1.44 MB each. And there were still more available, those were just the ones I thought I'd need. And before you could even begin installing, each of those had to be downloaded, written and verified because floppies were not terribly reliable.

Back to linux! in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That's much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.
