What's even more interesting are the cloud conferencing hosts who claim to
support linux ... as long as your distribution is Debian or Ubuntu. I
thought this wall between distributions was permanently breached about 20
years ago. But, freeconferencecall.com told me explicitly that they did not
support Slackware. I recall seeing a couple of others that supported Debian
and Ubuntu only. I wonder how long it took them to figure out how to block
other distribution users.
