An anonymous reader writes: Liz Upton, Director of Communications for the Raspberry Pi Foundation, has just published an email where someone was asking how much would it cost them for the Foundation to install malware on its devices in the form of a .EXE file. The email sender was asking for a PPI [price per install] quote.

    Note that Liz Upton, the addressee, used the phrase malware herself. That's where the sensationalism started. Just blindly converting it into a Slashdot headline, that's the bad reporting part.

    Whatever happened to common sense...?

    Just making sure you don't forget how bad that shit is. Works OK'ish when everything works but damn what a pain in the ass to debug when a service fails to start ..... for some reason.

    All our servers have switched to BSD. Should have done this a lot sooner since BSD just makes sense when you have worked with a various Linux distros over the years .... LSB was a good idea but no one gave a fuck.
