But the rumors about selling are concerning. Might be just rumors though. I am more concerned about schematics and stuff that get shared during discussions. Not sure whether and how that works though because there is only scant information on the Skype site, and it only lists webcam style video.

Not that I really have anybody I need to call, but this Skype looks pretty interesting. So I went to their site, and they don't have a Slackware package and I didn't see any links to source where I can compile it here. Anybody heard of either of those anywhere?

Some kind of trousers? > > <duck and run ...> Actually, I had first heard of Linux in the 1995 era, so I decided to try it. I was wondering which distro to d/l, and there were so many options, with attributes and stuff that I had no clue about, so I picked Slackware because I liked the name. Linux for slackers - what a perfect fit! ;-P Mind you, it's not Aunt Tillie-Friendly at all - it's more of a techie's Linux. :-) http://www.slackware.com/ Cheers!

If I'd fiddle with all them distros and settings and gizmos it would be like Barney Fife and his gun.

If that had happened, I suspect that Macs and Amigas would have been seen as much more viable contenders than Slackware. :-) (Well, maybe not Amigas... Commodore declared bankruptcy in 1994... :-( ) >>> [...]Skype looks pretty interesting >>> [...]they don't have a Slackware package [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > impacted the Redmond campus during business hours ~April 1, 1995 > (before W95 and just before Red Hat's release).

OS/2 2.0 came out in April, 1992. A spectacular technical success--multithreaded 32-bit OS, fully object-oriented GUI, a beautiful object model (SOM)...I could go on...but a stupid marketing failure. I still use OS/2 at least a few times a week, and I still love it.

I was sure hoping OS/2 would make it but they blundered so badly in the marketing area that it's hard to believe. Essentially they could have eaten Microsoft's lunch but instead simply walked away from the table. <still shaking head> SignatureRegards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

Back then the money ratio was still in IBM's favor. IBM turned away because it would have eaten into their Power architecture 'nix workstation line.

IBM was bust, by some *very* knowledgeable people, withing two or three weeks of missing payroll. There simply were more important places to put a few hundred million$.
