With my fiber connection, I can fill one hundred and twenty-five 3.5" floppy disks per second 😱

@adele In 1992, for the first Linux I installed (kernel 0.96 then 0.99), the kernel needed 13 floppies; it was so long to download them, write them, and read them on the pc. And to wait for the first boot. Then the magic of the first prompt. Then we could FTP to get more software. This was the happy time of FTP and telnet. Each time to boot we needed to put again one by one these 13 floppies.
@adele Somehow in my brain that actually feels small.
