It was a golden time for the IT guys back then, they used to charge huge to Install Linux on your PC. Unfortunately if you miss a little thing, you mess the whole thing up, specially the boot loader.

Starting from partitioning the hard disk, installing Linux from multiple CD, configuring dual booting and so on and so forth. If anyone wanted to configure a standalone system on their own with Windows and Linux then they had to undergo a lot of challenges. We used to telnet to the Linux Server to run the Bash and form there all other subsequent commands.

I can remember in our programming lab we had a Linux server and it was connected to multiple Windows terminal. Remember those old days when we had to use Linux’s VI editor to write C, C++, Java code in our School/ College days? Do you also remember how we used to get that black UNIX terminal ( Bash) in our Windows machine? Well…mostly we had to do telnetfrom our Windows system to the Linux server to get the terminal back so that we can use the VI editor and write some code.
