[plug] SCO again

http://thelinuxshow.com/archives/2003/tls-11-18-2003.mp3

Here is a question and answer session involving TheLinuxShow and Darl
McBride, held today in a public forum. The audio quality is poor at
first but does improve..

I was surprised at how civilised the discussion was...

There is also the rest of this week's TheLinuxShow there too, which I
haven't listened to yet. I expect it will be an analysis of the session
at least, prob with the week Linux news stories thrown in too..

This mp3 is a 12 Meg d/l, and runs for ~111 minutes.

Regards

Garry.
