Your experience is very much like mine boraxman!

I pre-date you ever so slightly, with Linux Answers, the godfather of Linux Format. It lasted 1 press before becoming Linux Format, IIRC. On the coverdisc was Red Hat Linux 9.. or maybe it was Corel Linux .. I forget.

The crazy thing is, Linux Format issue one came out on the 5th May 2000, making it exactly 25 years ago. I feel old. Very old.
