Great. Another article on old Linux distributions that's just the same crap as in all the others.

FYI the first picture, the one with the 0.12 boot & root floppies that is in every old Linux distro article, is the original distribution made by Linus Torvalds himself. Two releases later, 0.95a (3/17/1992), Jim Winstead started doing the root floppy. H.J. Lu's "bootable root disk" came shortly afterwards. (9/23/1992)

When you see an article with that picture labeled as H.J. Lu's boot/root floppies, just stop reading.
