Kernel.org Needs Some Help, Perl Foundation Got Some
Dante wrote in to say "I just read this on the Linux Kernel mailing list, it's from Peter Anvin, one of the ftp.kernel.org maintainers...
H. Peter Anvin writes: "The recent troubles we've had at kernel.org pretty much highlight the issues with having an offsite system with no easy physical access. This begs the question if we could establish another primary kernel.org site; this would not only reduce the load on any one site but deal with any one failure in a much more graceful way.
Anyone have any ideas of some organization who would be willing to host a second kernel.org server? Such an organization should expect around 25 Mbit/s sustained traffic, and up to 40-100 Mbit/s peak traffic (this one can be adjusted to fit the available resources.) If so, please contact me."
In related news, mbadolato wrote in to tell us that "there's a press release over at dyndns.org announcing that they've donated $20,000 to the Perl Foundation!
'Thanks primarily to Perl and other Open Source technologies, we are able to provide DNS services to over 180,000 members of the Internet community,' said Tim Wilde, founder and chief executive officer of DynDNS.org. 'This is our way of giving back to some of the people whose tireless devotion to writing quality software has enabled us to provide our services to the Internet community over the past three years.'

Realistically they are victims of their own success - people want information about the new kernal and doubtlessly they want to download stuff too
Wrong again, they are victims of using their own shitty software.
Everyone knows that Linux sucks.
They should run it on a Win2K/IIS5 box until linux is ready for the big time.
Prove it by sucking my fattie cock!
Fuck you.
"Or possibly some sort of pay-per-mb-download scheme from official mirrors? that would certainly improve the popularity of patching."
Yea linux will be SOOOOOO popular then, fucking asshole
Once you start making people pay the idea of fo profit comes to mind

As a rule, poor people cannot afford to eat healthy food such as fruit, vegetables, good fish or meat, etc. They usually eat macaroni, potatoes or cheap hamburgers. In short, poor people's diet is poor by vitamins and proteins but full of fat and carbohydrates. It is enough to fill stomach and not to feel hungry but, on the other hand, it causes metabolic disease.
