Kernel.org Moves to Oregon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-way-to-travel dept.

Bryce writes "Looks like the main kernel.org machine has moved to the Oregon State University Open Source Lab. "Last night, Peter Anvin took master.kernel.org (hera) down and handed it off to his friend, Javier. This morning, Javier flew it up here to Corvallis in his Cessna Skylane. This is the first time the OSL has had a server hand-delivered by plane, and so we were giddy as schoolgirls." Kees Cook, the senior IT guy at OSDL helped them get it installed and configured."

    Obviously this is way off topic, but flying across the country in a plane is actually quite comparable to driving across the country as a single passenger in an SUV. Do the math.

    The difference between Microsoft and Linux is that Microsoft is developed by and for people who want to get filthy rich, and admit to it, while Linux is developed by and for people who want to get filthy rich, but claim to be doing it for the good of society.
