It was funet.fi, sunsite.unc.edu, and prep.ai.mit.edu where I first rounded out my Linux software collection.

I remember searching for stuff using Archie for deeper dives. I remember Archie blinking between = and O while it searched various ftp sites.

Early internet was the freaking bomb. So much to explore, so many secrets to discover.

Yes -- we used a UK sunsite mirror mostly; the UNC site would have been quite slow to access until mid '96. Imperial College London? Can't remember.
