Wann, die 3PPs "schuss"!? ;-) Having said that, I believe I first found out about Cygwin, years ago, from a CD. Before that I had been a user of MKS, and later Thompson Toolkits. But, now we have the Internet, and FLOSS is the medium and message of that.

That experience will be in my memoirs some day... I was supposedly in charge of the project but I'd get email telling me that a meeting had been held and everyone had decided not to include "perl" in the distribution.

That experience will be in my memoirs some day... My vague memory is that I was in some hacker bookstore, and they had a bunch of bargain CDs. I bought several along with one or two ORA books. One had Cygwin along with some other stuff. Others included Knoppix, a Perl-only CD, Yggdrasil, and some gawdawful share- and free-ware. I was hooked on FLOSS. > I was supposedly in charge of the project but I'd get email telling me > that a meeting had been held and everyone had decided not to include > "perl" in the distribution.
