I downloaded slackware and copied it onto 30 diskettes to install Linux on my home PC. The 27th disk was faulty, so I returned at 10 in the night to copy it again, because uni would delete the home directories over night.

Tab expansion already worked back then, so I typed tab twice to get all possible commands and read the manpages for all of them.
