Hurd: H2 CD Images

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the free-with-a-capital-f dept.

An anonymous submitter sends in: "The Debian GNU/Hurd team released a new Hurd CD Image. Snapshot images are produced at a four to eight week interval and the H2 images are the tenth of the series. The Hurd has grown from one CD image in August 2000 (A1) to four images in December 2001 (H2). These images are snapshots of a developing operating system, so suitable precautions must be taken when making an installation. Similar to other architectures, most important programs reside on CD 1, while the other ones contain less important packages. For the moment, Hurd doesn't support card sound and partition size is still limited to 1 GB. Hurd use the Debian packaging system (dpkg and apt as for Debian linux) , so it is simple to install and update packages."

    Slashdot and the fucking bastards who run it are always "taco snottting"
    each other and are saying "linux is uncrashable" Well I have found a way to
    crash it in just 2 commands!

    $ SU root
    Enter Password : ************
    $ CP /dev/zero /dev/mem

    This will crash all your programs and cause kernel panic! It works by OVERWRITING
    your memory with ZEROS and the kernel panics when the /dev/zero overwrites the
    kernel.

    It shows that root is VERY DANGEROUS and you should NEVER log in as root! It is filled with SECURITY HOLES

      You aren't from fucking Malaysia. There isn't a computer in that entire backward nation. Fuck I was on two UN tours of Bosnia with you folks and watched you drink out of toilets, never having seen one before. Fuck we lent you tents and stuff to live in because your government sent you to Bosnia to collect your pay and gave you nothing, and later had to burn them because you filthy fuckers pissed and shit in the corners and roasted a dog in the center.

    I am really getting tire of everytime there's a comment about RMS or GNU that isn't all nice and pretty. And the comment is sent to the wonderous 0 world. If you don't believe me ... go browse at Zero.

    I think slashdot readers agree that not everything posted on slashdot is something everyone agrees with and I think A LOT of people aren't all for FSF or GNU ... why because they're politics don't match that of the other party.

    Just tired of seeing EVERYONE who doesn't like GNU get bashed for it ... that's the joy of being an American ... not only can you _have_ your opinion, but you can voice it too. Not everyone has to agree with you though.

    BSD is more "free" with respect to code usage than the GPL. What are you smoking?
