First Unix (owned by self) was a Fortune 16:32 6800 machine I got from my 
Grandfather's estate (??1977). Didn't have good connections with any 
community - so that lasted perhaps 2 years and didn't learn quite as much 
as I should have.

First Linux successfully working was a Red Hat CD - a friend came by and 
managed to get my printer working, although that was the third or fourth 
install attempted. ? 1995-6 time period?
