Sorry for the long delay folks - I finally got the audio/video downloads all set from Doug McIlroy's talk "Ancestry of Linux - How the Fun Began" at the last Quarterly Meeting in November for those who couldn't make it or would like to review:

  http://dlslug.org/past_meetings.html

I'm hosting the slides and audio - the video links out to the Internet Archive. These guys are great - have a listen to the founder's interview on NerdTV if you get a chance. (If you ever get tempted to put something there avoid the CCPublisher tool at all costs, it's broken. Do check out the lftp FTP client on linux, which they recommend - better than ncftp used to be.)

The audio file is .mp3 - the video file is aac/h.264. It's even sized appropriately for you dogs with Video iPod. VLC can play it:

The source material was pretty bad so the quality is somewhat sub-Hollywood after post-processing. After much filtering it's at least viewable and audible.

I've posted DVD's to the GNHLUG chapter coordinators and a copy is available for loan from the DLSLUG Library if you'd rather watch it on TV. That's full NTSC-quality.

Enjoy!

-Bill
