Debian Core Consortium Releases First Code

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-than-just-words dept.

daria42 writes "It looks like the Debian Common Core Alliance announced a while ago is going to make good on its promises: the project has released its first code this week. The release consists of a base installation of Debian 3.1 with the Linux Standard Base and security updates attached. But the project also looks like it has attracted some criticism from within the Debian developer community - with a spoof Web site having already been set up to poke fun at the Alliance."

    Mr Garrett recently posted "Go suck on my fuck" on his blog IIRC relating to MJ Ray's retardedness.

    No, I didn't. If I'd written that I'd look like some sort of illiterate moron. What I actually said was "choke on my fuck", and I've no regrets about doing so whatsoever.

    Always poking fun at the Alliance. Why is it that I always find myself drinking in an alliance friendly bar on Unification Day?

    I was expecting a "spoof site poking fun" to be, you know, funny.

    Fork it! Roll your own!
