I found two old CDs which contents is partially Linux. :-)
In particular they contain what seems like a complete archive of
linux-activists list starting from November 1991 up to digest 988,
Volume #4 from "Wed, 28 Apr 93". Here is an opening message earlier
from what Ted quoted himself. :-)

Subject: Reason for this meeting
Linux_activists is a discuss archive of the mailing list about Linux,
a free unix-like kernel for 386-AT computers, coming with full source
code. It is meant for hackers/computer science students to use, learn
and enjoy.
These disks also include SLS 99 p2 and SLS 1.01 distributions by Peter
MacDonald <pmacdona@sanjuan.uvic.ca>. In particular the following
library sources are included:
47382 Feb 16 1993 libc-4.2-4.3.tar.z
707527 Feb 16 1993 libc-4.3.tar.z
9956 Feb 19 1993 libm-4.0.tar.z
219711 Mar 1 1993 libg++-2.3.tar.z
158383 Apr 4 1993 libc-4.3.2-4.3.3.tar.z
843872 Apr 4 1993 libc-4.3.3.tar.z
(no 4.4, I am afraid) and these Linux kernels:
850885 Dec 13 1992 linux-0.99.tar.Z
47199 Dec 22 1992 linux-0.99.patch1.Z
37226 Jan 2 1993 linux-0.99.patch2.Z
117007 Jan 13 1993 linux-0.99.patch3.Z
16845 Jan 22 1993 linux-0.99.patch4.Z
94209 Feb 9 1993 linux-0.99.patch5.Z
65359 Feb 23 1993 linux-0.99.patch6.Z
906678 Feb 23 1993 linux-0.99.6.tar.Z
114894 Mar 13 1993 linux-0.99.patch7.z
625942 Apr 9 1993 linux-0.99.8.tar.z
77658 Apr 9 1993 linux-0.99.patch8.z
70858 Apr 23 1993 linux-0.99.patch9.z
636243 Apr 23 1993 linux-0.99.9.tar.z
So what of this will be of interest and to whom?
