    Shadowy outcome for HURD, who could have seen that one coming?

    I work from home, and OSDL provides some infrastructure that allows me to get my work done without having to worry about things.


    Heh, "provides some infrastructure" ??

    Such a sweet deal would normally make one wonder...


    Richard Chesler : Get the f**k out of here, you're fired!

    Narrator : I have a better solution. You keep me on the payroll as an outside consultant, and in exchange for my salary, my job will be never to tell people these things that I know. I don't even have to come into the office, I can do this job from home.

      The first rule of OSDL is that you don't talk about OSDL.

    HURD! Uggg... Linux is bad enough, get a real OS, like FreeBSD for server's, otherwise its back to Windows for a desktop :) Let the OS wars begin!

    Maybe there is a war, but you can't kill something that's already dead. Or haven't you hurd?
