My first computer access was via our Dad's luggable thermal paper-based 
tty with a 110 baud (or was it 60 at first?) acoustic coupled modem. 
With this we dialed-in (as in rotary dial) to a Unix system at Bell Labs 
where we would play trek and adventure endlessly.  Mom would get pissed 
when we would spend an entire long weekend playing 'video' games. ;-)

And yes, FC5 is in the torrent... http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
I wonder if plays well with MS-Windows in a dualboot configuration...
