Early history

The first sakima machine was a Dell Pentium 100 with 8 megabytes of memory. Full Internet services including e-mail and web hosting started in September, 1995. The machine ran the Slackware distribution of Linux. Like most Linux machines of the day, the Internet connectivity was courtesy of the dorm-room Ethernet access, in this case in room 222 of Killinger Hall of West Chester University in West Chester, PA.

Sakima quickly proved to be popular among the students at West Chester.
