    This has got to be the least-cared-about story on Slashdot, ever. =)

    Yes it looks like it. ekkoBSD might be more interesting is if we had a nice phrase to go with it (like how portability goes with netbsd and so forth... we even know dfbsd aims to be high performance). We still don't -know- what ekkoBSD is for. My best guess right now is quick setup.

    Of course, having a nice phrase, motto, whatever isn't a guarentee to stardom.

      Was Jesus a NIGGER?


      "Many people are surprised to discover that Christ was a black man, but when one looks at Christ's lineage one discovers that He has numerous Hamatic Ancestors, with Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Naomi, Bathsheba and Jezabel being the most notable."

      Here are the facts:

      • In ancient times, including Jesus' time, the Arabian peninsula was considered part of what we now call Africa, not "the Near East" or "the Middle East".
      • Christianity is frequently portrayed as "the White Man's religion". The truth is that most of the people in the Bible were people of color (i.e., not "Anglo"): Semitics, blacks, and Mediterranean, e.g., Romans.
      • In the United States today the general view on whether someone is "black" is the One-Drop Rule -- if a person has any black ancestors s/he is considered "black", even with a clearly Anglo skin color, e.g., Mariah Carry, Vanessa L. Williams, LaToya Jackson.
      • Jesus' male ancestors trace a line from Shem. However, ethnically and racially, they were mixed Semitic and Hamitic from the times spent in captivity in Egypt and Babylon. Rahab and probably Tamar were Canaanites. Although Canaanites spoke a Semitic language, they were descendants of Ham through his son Canaan. Bethsheba, who had been the wife of Uriah the Hittite, probably was a Hamitic (black) Hittite herself.

      Thats fine. You should be allowed to have your opinions. But the problem is that the moderation here is one-sided and penalizes anyone who criticizes BSD but has no problem with people who bash Linux. Therefore the hypocrisy in the moderation going on around here.

      I'm sorry you feel that way - I'm a fair moderator, and I don't specifically mod down posts due to which unix the poster prefers or dislikes. I don't see the hypocrisy in moderation - the same diverse group that posts to slashdot (minus the trolls and the anonymous cowards) gets to moderate the discussions. If you feel this is unfair, as all the moderators have different opinions, I suppose its your right to feel that way.

      BTW, most of the posts on slashdot critical of BSD are automatically posted by various slashdot bots. They're the same post EVERY TIME. Some of them are years old.

      As for linux bashing, its rare. Most people here don't even see a difference between linux and open source. Notice the posts about KDE's new file i/o interface. It was posted as "something new for linux" (or something similar). Nobody even assumed it might work on a more popular unix-like system, such as Mac OS X.

      Anyway, if you don't like the moderation, stop posting anonymously, and maybe you'll be moderating soon. The system is only as perfect as its participants.

      You think moderation should be based on the poster's choice of username? That would certainly simplify the moderation interface, people with mod points could just be given a list of today's sign ups to score.

      Of course, since you chose to be `Anonymous Coward' you'd get -1000000 on every post.

      I think you may have forgotten to engage brain before posting.
