MCC Linux / TinyCRT

This computer is running the latest version of MCC Interim Linux, namely 2.0. This one is from November 1996.

MCC Interim Linux was a Linux distribution first released in February 1992 by Owen Le Blanc of the Manchester Computing Center (MCC), part of the University of Manchester. It was the first Linux distribution made for computer users who were not Unix experts and included a menu-driven installer that installed both the kernel and a range of end-user and programming tools.

Built into the computer case is an STS Tecom CKS-05V. A 5" picture tube with VGA connection. This became known by the well-known Youtuber LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) who viewed it in 2021. The example in this case is also the one that he viewed and used.

Feel free to turn on this computer and look around the oldest Linux distribution.
