Release Notes Missing

[mosch]

Is it me, or do you have to be a bit brave or stupid to run an operating system that can't even provide working links to it's release notes? Just try clicking on 'i386' or 'alpha'. 404.

I used to be a huge fan of BSD, but it seems that as people have migrated to Linux, the quality has dropped significantly and details get missed, en masse. There's a reason why Linux is more popular.

What's bizarre is not so much that this is hoax, but that a website managed by such incompetent idiots can be so successful.

bsd user Alan Thicke, Dead.

Just heard the sad news on CBC radio. Comedy writer/actor Alan Thicke was found dead in his home this morning. Even if you never watched his work, you can appreciate his work in 80's television. Truly a Canadian icon. He will be missed :( Show me That Smile: Show me that smile again. Ooh show me that smile. Don't waste another minute on your crying. We're nowhere near the end. We're nowhere near. The best is ready to begin. As long as we got each other We got the world Sitting right in our hands. Baby rain or shine; All the time. We got each other Sharing the laughter and love.
