Build Your Own Crusoe-Powered Computer

Posted by timothy on from the lower-your-electric-bills dept.

    Let's all beat up on Richard Stallman. LWN editor Liz Coolbaugh once found herself seated next to Richard Stallman for dinner at some conference. It turned out not to be one of the most pleasant experiences of her life; there was no way to bring an end to the discussion of whether this publication should change its name to the GNU/Linux Weekly News. Mr. Stallman is nothing if not tenacious.

    He is also endlessly controversial. It is generally not surprising to other supporters of free software speaking out against him. This week, however, has been notable even on the RMS scale.

    Consider, for example, the release notes for glibc 2.2.4. A minor C library release normally wouldn't draw a great deal of attention; there's not much in the way of exciting new features, and most people avoid upgrading glibc unless they really have to. But most point releases of glibc don't come with comments like:

    Stallman recently tried what I would call a hostile takeover of the glibc development. He tried to conspire behind my back and persuade the other main developers to take control so that in the end he is in control and can dictate whatever pleases him....

    The morale of this is that people will hopefully realize what a control freak and raging manic Stallman is. Don't trust him. As soon as something isn't in line with his view he'll stab you in the back.

    Also you need to provide a stool sample

    Not really, that was just a requirement that Linus sneaked in to the list, but it was removed from the web site as soon as it was discovered.
    Little Linus will have to go back to playing with his own doo-doo.
