Some nostalgia served up for all you early Slackware users. A Q&A session about Slackware and Linux in general.

Thanks for that! I enjoyed it.

Thanks, brianL!

Yeah, thanks. Perfect breakfast viewing for my day off.

My favourite highlights (paraphrasing):

1. Him saying there's some company named Red Hat, not sure what they're doing.
2. Someone asking about Mosaic and him touting Lynx as a better gopher.
3. It may be a few months for Wine to get there.

Also interesting all the questions about video cards and the mention of Diamond being a problem, NDAs. Plus ça change... (or are video card headaches only a BSD problem today?). On the other hand Motif support didn't turn out to be so important in the long run, so some things really were of the time.

Very interesting. Thanks

Fascinating.

Thanks for posting that, it was interesting viewing!

Nice.
It's good to remember the past and see how far, and how much, things have changed. The past puts the present into perspective: how much of today will seem quaint in 20 years?
