Linux Router Project Dead

An anonymous reader submits: "The Linux Router Project is no more. This single-floppy distro was a great tool for building a number of simple super-low-cost network devices. The maintainer has a lot of bitter words about its demise, and it is sad to see it go."

    If the project wasn't dead, then it definately is now after the nice warm fuzzy friendly slashdotting it just received.

    Yeah that's right... Mod me down. Meanwhile, two posts down from me, burns210 points out the exact same thing I did and he gets modded +5 insightful -- while I get modded as flamebait?! I was always skeptical about people complaining about the moderation system here in the past... I'm not so sure now!

    "Fascists divide in two categories: the fascists and the anti-fascists" -- Ennio Flaiano

    This is off-topic, but that is the most ridiculous quote I've ever heard. People have fought with all their heart to stop fascists, long before and long after WWII.

    Not only is that quote non-sensical, it's disrespectful to the anti-fascists who fought died to keep the world safe from tyranny.

    Most millionaires are savvy businessmen

    Can you back this up with facts? I would be interested in how many millionaires are savvy businessmen and how many are stupid kids who inherited their wealth without doing squat.

    Neither tend to be famous, of course, which is your larger point, but I don't see where you get off making such an assertion without justifying it.

    Okay, let's use the phase "first-generation millionaires". The inheritence to children is often wasted (e.g., kid with millions ends up as a cashier at Blockbuster video). However, some families have children arrogant enough to keep the millions rolling in (they, by chance, turn out to be savvy, also).

    I'm pretty convinced that most people get lots of money through personal traits (good contract negotiating, spotting worthwhile risks, accounting knowledge, being able to manage people, etc). A person can't make that kind of money--and maintain it--simply through a lucky inheritance.
