It was fun, and interesting to [finally] experience Minux - the OS designed by Andrew Tenenbaum only b/c AT&T was breathing down his, and other professors, necks telling them they couldn't continue teaching Unix to students... without Minux, Linus may have never gotten the bug to develop Linux - what would the world be like built on top of FreeBSD rather than Linux??? We'll never know - because of all these pioneers...

I already got to run frotz with a downloaded calypso.z3
(libre/free licensed text adventure) I uploaded. It
runs great.
