Applications: most of the X Stuff (there are so many programs, can't remember
them all), kernel-version 2.0.33, no patches, kernel-config included. HW:

Pentium 150
Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB and WDC 1.5 GB
4X-Speed-Noname-CD-ROM-Drive
S3-Grafx-Adapter
AHA-152x-compatible-SCSI-adapter with flatbed scanner as the only device
80 MB EDO-RAM
