Slackware, 1996. I had a hand-me-down 486 that didn't have a CD-ROM drive. It was cheaper for me to sit in a Uni computer lab with a case of 3.5" floppies, than it was to buy a drive. Slackware got me through my systems programming course at the time without me having to find time to get to the Unix lab (only open during regular classroom hours) or Telnet in (yes, really.) I was living on campus and the dorms only had time-limited dialup.

Anyone feel like Spez is shooting out the lights on his way out?
They're continuing to have fun with it, something I think Berman Trek largely did away with sometime around season 3 of TNG. I love Star Trek when it takes itself seriously but I also love when it remembers the premise is a little silly. I'm not sure I buy the notion that a criminal syndicate built a Crossfield out of spare parts like they have their own personal Tony Stark, but it's a fun mystery to solve. Also I'm hoping for an explanation for whatever that Temp-V stuff was Spock and Chapel injected themselves with.
