Its odd that you had that problem... my daily laptop is a P2 400 with 256mb of ram and the only issue I have is occasionally on bootup (once a month?) I run into a freeze at "starting hotplug subsystem"... I've searched, found that its a common problem on different laptop platforms, and just try again.
It works then.
Though I agree with you that the old days of Linux running on a 486 have passed, for the most part. Its nice to know that slackware is keeping that tradition alive. I know Debian has a flavour that will do that too...
... for those of us not using SBC and/or DSL? Nothing, I dont see. My cable company doesn't provide telephone... although it just joined with another cable company that offers VoIP at a cost double what I pay through Vonage.
Why must CEO's speak of things they know nothing about? As another poster said, he just painted himself into a corner.
Maybe a nice, usable web based calendaring solution will solve me having to share.pst files because our web based pop3 email system can't do it!
On the other hand, maybe it wont. The internet here is only partially stable and we dont have the budget for a dedicated web server (although I'd love it if we did). As they always say in a school setting... "maybe next year".
I enjoy developing web apps, but I don't see myself diving into ajax or, in all honesty, having any real need for it. The only time my applications really need to dynamically change text is on the menu's (expandable menu's, big hit), and I already do that with "DHTML" or, javascript + html... with no need to call XML ibraries.
This might not be the best solution - I've never used it over an internal network - but its worth a shot.
Shoutcast... its a Winamp-based streaming audio system. You can learn more about it at Shoutcast.com
Here is a tutorial on setting it up and everything.

And the Formal Documentation?

My smalltown highschool also taught only a BASIC language - TrueBasic.
I took it in my Junior year as well... which was in 2000. Unfortunately, after I completed school I believe they dropped all of their programming classes. I think I might've been the only one that actually enjoyed that class... even though it was taught by a math teacher that didn't really know the language but was stuck there teaching it because of the old mentality that "math majors can program, and no one else can".

Here are a few links that I found while googling around. They should be of some help.
