I went to an advanced high school then that had Internet access. We had multiple Sun3/4 and IBM AIX system. I really wanted a Unix system for myself but they were so expensive. The students who graduated a year ahead of me and started college started emailing me about this cool new thing called Linux. Just reading about it was exciting even though I didn't even own a PC to install it. I saved up all my money in 1994 to buy a PC just to run Linux.
