A really awful blue background. The quote from the site: “We accept that members in more fortunate circumstances may feel that a site with a 16-colour palette and an optimal screen resolution of 640 x 200 pixels is not the best fit for their needs but we urge such members to keep the greater good in mind. The vast majority of potential new Gentoo Linux users are still using IBM XT computers, storing their information on 5.25-inch floppy disks and communicating via dial-up BBS,” said Roy Bamford (neddyseagoon), a Foundation trustee.

"The second phase of the project to get Gentoo Linux to a wider user base will involve the creation of floppy disk sets containing a compact version of the operating system and a selection of software essentials. It is estimated that sets could be created using less than 700 disks each and sponsorship is currently being sought."

It did matter when we had to replace the whole terminal because the CRT was burnt. Some folks were bad to leave theirs logged in which ruined pretty much the whole screen.
