Cryptographic Software in Debian's Main Archive
Cine writes: "James Troup and Sam Hartman recently sent a note to all debian mirror maintainers, to inform them about the current situation and future plans. Sometime after March 8th, crypto software like OpenSSH, SSL support, and many other enhancements will be integrated into the debian main archive. This is in accordance to legal advice the Debian project received."
fp!
Holy crap!! I've always heard Debian is about a year behind other major linux distros. I previously thought this was just the talk of trolls. guess not.
This is true. FreeBSD has been distributing code this way for years and years and years, with servers all over the world. Having a large number of servers around the world does help with development and downloading. Good to see another free unix entering the modern world!
Go linux!
DEBIAN DOESN'T NEED TO PUT PATHETIC ADS EVERYWHERE IN IT'S ARCHIVES AND IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T ASK YOU TO BUY A SUBSCRIPTION.
IF DEBIAN A COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM CAN DO IT ALL FOR FREE WHY DOES TUNA TACO, A MAN WHO MAKES A LIVING SIMPLY
BY LINKING TO OTHER PEOPLES CONTENT, NEED TO HAVE SUBSCRIPTIONS?
TUNA TACO IS A THEIF.
HE WANTS TO SELL YOU YOUR OWN COMMENTS TO YOU.
HE IS A CORPORATE THUG.
HE THREATENS YOU WITH MASSIVE AND OBSCENE ADS UNLESS YOU PONY UP CASH EVERY FEW MONTHS TO KEEP HIM LIVING IN THE LAP OF LUXURY.
DEBIAN DOESN'T SHAKE DOWN IT'S USERS FOR CASH LIKE TUNA TACO.
TUNA TACO, THE MAN BEHIND THE SCAM.
TUNA TACO, YOU MAKE ME SICK.

I DON'T NEED TO HEAR ANY CONDESCENDING BULLSHIT OUT OF YOU BITCH.
MAYBE I WON'T THINK FREEBSD IS A TOTAL JOKE WHEN I CAN RUN IT ON SOME REAL HARDWARE NOT THIS PATHETIC X86 BULLSHIT OR THIS OBSOLETE ALPHA CRAP.
AND DON'T EVEN TRY THE SWITCHAROO, NETBSD AIN'T FREEBSD SO DON'T EVEN SAY IT YOU LITTLE L33T4RD.
