Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness
sethadam1 writes "Calling all Slashdoctors! Pat Volkerding, maintainer of Slackware Linux, needs your help. This morning, he posted his very detailed account (mirror) of his battle with Actinomyces here on the Slackware FTP server. Patrick has given his blood, sweat, and tears to the open source community for years in Slackware, one of the oldest surviving Linux distributions. If you can, please help!"
but I play one on SlashDot.
ummm, don't look at me either.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
I'm 6'1" and 145 lbs, which is close. I'm a runner and a triathlete, and can at least vouch for the fact that you *can* be quite healthy at that height and weight. It's just how I'm built.
Not that this has anything to do with the story, really, but you asked.
See what happens, people?

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

silly debian users...its slapt-get, not atp-get

MN has something to brag about (me being a MN'er for 25 years or so) if only in that they're one of the few perrenially blue states ever four years ;)
What? He wouldn't get the treatment needed because of this "HMO"? What is an HMO anyway? Something you have in USA only? Why would this prevent a citizen from getting proper and cheap/free treatment?
I don't have a deity, you insensitive clod!
If Patrick Volkerding dies, he may be the first (memorable) geek martyr.
