Was anyone else upset this wasn't a story involving Andrew Tanenbaum?

If you're on slashdot and you just discovered that Apple hates the GPL, youre wrong. Your first clue was when they banned GPL from the crap store.

Mandriva and KDE are big in Europe.

It feels good to be living in freedom... you're all welcome to join.

Given that OpenSSH alone is the most used FOSS program, and there is virtually no corporate contributions, I think Theo just has lost patience for people who come on the lists and complain.

Is there any legit place where you can purchase non-drm lossless albums using GNU/Linux?

Because I fired my managers a long time ago.

First understand this: Slackware is Patrick's bread-and-butter. Granted I'm not too sharp on network management etc... but perhaps he wants his server to be within his control and not floating around in some nebulous cloud. He's been a dedicated GNU/Linux community member/leader for decades, so you should stop being such an ass and realize that as you get older you stick to the things you know; brick-and-mortar real servers which you have control over, the way it has been done for decades. He's not trying to build an empire; from the interviews I've read/heard he's just a down-to-earth guy that likes plays music and lives simply. Why would he try to expand, especially if it means giving up (albiet not too much) control over what provides his income. What's next, Steven King writing/storing his next novel on Google Documents?

The parent has no relevance to this article. What does debian's survivability have anything to do with slackware's webserver going down and a new project based on slackware (of which there are many). Besides, slackware has been around as long as Debian. Ian Murdoc tried to recruit Patrick Volkerding for the Debian project at its beginning, but Pat respectfully declined and went ahead with Slackware. I'll give you Debian's survivability, but Slackware is just as old with far less resources than Debian. To use seniority as leverage to dismiss slackware shows you know nothing. This is the wrong way to promote Debian, which is a wonderful project which proves itself without such tactics. Since you don't mention any of these features, you again prove you know nothing.

Never had an account. Never will. I'm glad I've stuck to my guns this long and I hope others will push forward as well. I wonder if this correlates to me never having a girlfriend.
