Fresco M1 Released

rajan r writes "The first release after 18 months, Fresco, previously known as Berlin, released M1 or Milestone 1. The release notes here, screenshots here. The original 'press release' follows: 'I'm proud to announce that milestone 1 of Fresco (formerly known as Berlin) has (at long last) been released. A lot has changed since the last release, but this isn't that surprising, since the last release was more then 18 months ago; most of the real work for the past few months has been behind the scenes (changing hosts, a new web site infrastructure, improved build system, an issue tracker (hooray!), better documentation (and more to come), etc.). Source (no packages at the moment, but debs will be available soon, and the tree contains .spec files for building your own rpms) The name change. Enjoy! -- Nathaniel '"

    We should all be concerned about the stupidity that is preveleant in the Canadian society. The Canadians are so stupid that they use W instead of X, so a release such as this is meaningless to the Great White Retards.

    I'm praying for the day that the great US of A finally takes over Canada and utilizes the slave labor (men) and whores (women) of Canada for our own domestic and carnal needs. It is what they want and what we (US) deserves.

    Fucking canucks, we take pitty on you, and we will fulfill your(our) needs.

    Um, why bother? What is the desired end result of this whole project? A new OS? I went to the site and read up and I couldn't find the long-term goal of this whole Fresco/Berlin thingy... frankly, if this is just a hobby or a time-killer software equivelent of an erector set, I think I'd rather do laundry. Unless these Fresco people are Bubble Boys, even cleaning the leaves out of my rain gutters would give me more self-satisfaction.

    If ignorance is Bliss, why am I always so down in the dumps?

    People wouldn't have to wine about bloat if they upgraded their hardware instead of trying to get that shitty old K6 to last a lifetime.

    It's only bloat if you use a fucking 486.

    Shit if you try and run a Linux on a 286 is SO FUCKING BLOATED that it won't even BOOT!

    What with all that pointless 32 bit support and other useless shit like that bloating it up...

    That is all.

    There's also that big "X"-symbol at the side which might give you a hint. I had never heard of Fresco or Berlin (in that context, har har), but I figured what it was about and was confirmed right 20 seconds later when I had a glance at the linked page.
    Nevertheless, I agree, a subblause explaining what Fresco does wouldn't have hurt.
