    I vaguely remember when I first heard about gnu and Stallman in the late 80s. Not sure what counts as open source. How about BSD? Was SVR4 or Research System 7 open source? Used those about the same timeframe and contributed one project around then. I used some open source tools for Solaris in the mid 90s. I think my first Linux install was in the late 90s.

    Anyway it all went great and there was kind of a cultural vibe with the open source movement back in the day. All us computer related majors were all about it.
