Thought this was a pretty interesting piece of Linux history, and unintentionally quite funny as well :p

In 1996 I got a copy of Yggdrasil Linux as a CD in the back of a large book, about 1,000 pages. I believe that it was simply a printout of all the man pages, although it might have had instructions on installing and basic Linux usage.
