Checking now...oops, you are right:

Record created on 03-Jun-93.

That was when we created the DNS record for my first company,
which ran 2/3rds on Linux...so whatever version existed back there.

In Linux's favor here, though...even at that point, if you ran
Linux on a *non-networked* system (ie. we had some dialup lines into it,
but not networking)...that thing ran pretty much rock-solid. It wasn't
until we actually put some load on her that she wouldn't run for more then
a day or so at a time...
