    I did it so much: Slackware from Source that it seemed almost trivial once I got my first Plextor 3x and ordered the CD by mail lol.

    Edit: I shivered when I thought about it. I had a 486 SX with 1GB RAM, a 64k VLB Tulip Video card and a Connor 340MB HDD. It was slow as snot even then, but Linux was cool for being free.

    I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Sharky Extreme, Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.

    Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.

    Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.
