Posted by michael on from the sharing-made-easy dept.

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes "See here for a *great* interview with tridge. My favourite quote: 'In 50 years' time I doubt anyone would have ever heard of Samba, but they'll probably be using rsync in one way or another,' Tridgell says. Cheers, Jeremy."

  2. In 50 years, I doubt many will know what Unix is.. by saskboy · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    What about the doomsday for UNIX. Isn't that in about 2036 [or there abouts], when the time just runs out, in UNIX's own Y2K bug?
    If we haven't upgraded our systems by then to the next OS, I'll eat my hat. [I suppose a lot of developers ate their hats too two years ago.]

  3. No Stupid!!! by JohnDenver · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You slashdot "geeks" think you're pretty smart, but your just jeleous of N-Sync because you know you couldn't dance and sing because everybody would hate you!

    Lance Bass was supposed to go in space, but the stupid people with the money were too stupid not to pay the Russians. Didn't they know if Lance went to space, everybody would love Nsync and stop buy BSB records because they suck ass and are stupid!

    Your so stupid because your just jeleous.

    I hate you!!!
