The early releases of Linux were on floppy disks. More than 20 disks. You could not compile the kernel while X was running unless you had at least 8 Mb. I was the lucky owner of a 486dx33 with 16 Mb.

Listening to episode 1, overall pretty good. I was surprised to hear no mention of NeXT, especially given some of the focus on post-Jobs-return Apple.

I was discussing the lead in with a colleague last week. There are just so many threads to how we arrived at where we are today simply in terms of operating systems. You could probably have a whole podcast series on that alone. I once helped write an expert witness report that tried to bring in all the AT&T, BSD, Unix Wars, etc. threads and it was hard to keep it comprehensible. Keeping it around Microsoft and Apple in their modern forms probably makes it more approachable for a broader audience.

I just started listening. The production quality is far above what I was expecting from a podcast! Enjoying it so far.

Why doing a podcast with a single presenter and getting BBC quality audio isn't that hard these day a decent 2x2 audio interface and some decent mics Shure Sm58's will do quite well with your preferred DAW which will often have presets for podcasts.
