I know almost nobody will read this, but don't miss the other RFCs released on April 1st, 2001. True gems like the Pi Digit Generation protocol, that states "One REQUIRED PIgen service is defined as a stateless TCP service. A server listens on TCP port 314159.".
And also, don't miss this very interesting RFC called the Etimology of foo, with more than useful information about the foobar!
At least, these are _technical_ April Fools jokes:-)
Funny thing, Slashdot ran a story just like this one 2 years ago (when Wichert won for the 1st time), and I didn't see anyone complain at that time. Maybe Slashdot doesn't run stories about RedHat's or SuSE's new PL because they do not have PL's, they have CEO's. And maybe it doesn't run "Debian 7.X released" stories every 3 months because Debian is not vaporware.
Its too late to get rid of it, I just hope that everyone will ignore it so that people aren't punished or rewarded for the way they voted.
What kind of punishment or reward can you get for voting for DPL? What would one gain in this process, since Debian is a non-profit organization whose objective is to make a high-quality, 100% free GNU/Linux distribution?
Yes, this is an interesting point, because it violates section 5.2.5 of the Debian Constitution. I have no idea why Raul decided to post all the results in the announcement, but I'm sure it was just a mistake.
If you install Debian using PPP, you won't need more than 2 disks. Indeed, you would need the additional disks w/drivers in order to get your network card (if it wasn't a 'standard' card like a cheap NE2000 clone).
In order to care about the future of our species, we first have to respect ourselves. I don't think we have reached a sufficient level of self-respect with each other yet to make space exploration a good thing "for the species". Do you think it is fair to let people starve while 5 billion dollar space ships are being built?
The install procedure is very well documented. All you got to do is RTFM at http://www.debian.org. After reading, you'll discover all you need is 2 disks (the boot disk and the root disk), and from that point, you can select your cdrom as the source for the packages and begin installing the best OS I've ever used.
Wow. _The_ Bruce Perens.:) I have to agree - I've been running unstable for a long time and never had any problem. (many people report major bugs, whenever I see the maintainers/Joey Hess on the Debian Weekly News saying 'warning, this thing is probably going to break', I just wait until the dust settles down. That's what you gotta do: keep an eye open, and lurk around mailing lists if you have some problem with unstable... The price for very updated stuff is very updated bugs:)
Anything that gets people into space and more people caring about getting to space is a good thing.
Really? The fuck how? It isn't making my life better.
I guess I'm just trying to say that space is the coolest thing out there. Back in the 'good old days' only the biggest and baddest people (USA and USSR) could send people up there.
This has not changed a bit. It's just that, today, we have more rich countries able to launch things in orbit. The money used in this dumb things should/could be used in a more appropriate way, like doing research.

Thanks for the nice attempt to troll. BTW, FYI & FWIW:
PING 3286301978 (195.224.253.26) from 200.100.50.25 : 56(84) bytes of data.
26.253.224.195.in-addr.arpa name = inetc26.inetc.net.
So: 195.224.253.26 == inetc26.inetc.net. HAND.
