Re: The origin story of Google Analytics
#22Urchin 4 continued our tradition of supporting way, way too many random platforms (Google still has Urchin 4 help: check out the OS support… ever heard of Yellow Dog Linux?). Heck yeah! Yellow Dog was one of first GNU/Linux distro I attempted to use, back in 2k2 (Or was it SUSE 6.4? Both ran too sluggishly for desktop use on my 5400/120, tho.) Here's the trial Urchin 5 for RedHat 6, btw. https://web.archive.org/web/2…
I remember Yellow Dog Linux ONLY because it was the official Linux Distribution supported by the PS3.
Didn't use it enough to know how it distinguished itself from other distros beyond that, but thats enough of a distinction for me!

Ah, Yellow Dog... I remember getting that running on a PowerBook way back in the Mac OS 9 days. What a pain, and X11 was always a bit glitchy.

#24Token ring in 1995? I guess a lot changes in 20 years. Networking was very different then, ethernet cards were like $600 in '93 https://books.google.com/books?id=mhAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA67&dq=et...
I'm a little dubious that it was actually Token Ring, based on the description. From "coaxial cable with fun twist-lock fittings" it sounds more like thin-wire Ethernet-- 10Base-2. That would be a lot lower cost and definitely more common than token ring in '95.
Yeah, that was coax Ethernet.

They live on in a small tool they built... The Yellowdog Updater, Modified.
Now just known as yum.

#29> But the real killer feature IMHO, which was released in Urchin 6, was individual visitor history drill-down. If this sounds potentially, um, sensitive, that’s because it is. Google wouldn’t touch this feature and it was summarily axed, never to return.
Any word on what this feature was? And do others currently offer an equivalent?
