    I wonder how long it will be before free sofware has a bad year AND geeks will admit it.

    My predictions: There will not be bad year before 2010 and /. won't be around.

    Cool, Linux in 2003 will be as nice as Windows 98 was. I can't wait for that.

    OpenBeOS is likely to create a decent desktop before Linux (the kernel) 2.6 arrives and gets debugged.

    Not trying to be a troll here, but for fucks sake can we just call it Linux???

    Fuck what some stupid commie asshole thinks, enough already. Take your goddamn GNU prefix and wipe your ass with it.
