the press release uses a lot of words to say "we're not going to sell EL anymore"

you can't buy it anymore, but it does come free with your new Z14 mainframe

unfortunately we had to EOL the x86 branch

 Classic unix workstation screenshots make me wish I hadn't dumpstered my Indigo2.

Also the fact that I could have flipped it on eBay for a bunch of dollars.

 I remember Enlightenment from back in like 1996 or 97 as catering to the discerning linux user who demanded their desktop look like a Giger painting.

 I had free dialup by dialing into the university’s free modem pool for shell access, telnetting to a lab server and running slirp

It would cut you off after two hours but I just had it auto reconnect.

Worst was being on IRC in some stupid argument when the two hour limit hit making me look like a ragequitter.

Check to see if audio works
