Amaya Toman Today's part of our "historical" series will again be partially related to Apple. It will talk about the first year of the West Coast Computer Faire, at which, among other things, the Apple II computer was presented. In the second part, we recall the arrival of the Damn Small Linux operating system.

The West Coast Computer Faire is held (1977)
On April 15, 1977, the West Coast Computer Faire was held for the first time. The three-day fair was held in San Francisco, California, and was attended by approximately 12 people. Among other things, the West Coast Computer Faire was also the place where the Apple II computer with 750 KB of memory, an integrated keyboard, six slots for further expansion and integrated high-resolution color graphics was presented for the first time. A number of experts in the field of computer technology later agreed that it was the West Coast Computer Faire when the computer industry was born, more or less, as we know it today.
Damn Small Linux Comes (2005)
On April 15, 2005, Damn Small Linux saw the light of day. As the name suggests, it was a Linux distribution whose main purpose was to take up as little disk space as possible. The Damn Small Linux distribution was developed by John Andrews, who stated that the size of the corresponding ISO file will not exceed 50 MB under any circumstances. The Damn Small Linux distribution was intended especially for older computers equipped with some of the early Pentium microprocessors and having a smaller amount of RAM. Originally it was only an experiment, but eventually DSL became a popular full-fledged Linux distribution.
