If we design a new protocol, we better make it distributed. Like the IRC. This way there's no one person that needs to donate *all* the bandwidth needed for the project, and there could be local mirrors. So there needs to be a client (player) - server protocol, and also a server-to-server protocol for synchronization.
And nevertheless, these are good articles. They understand well what open source is and what's the difference between it and freeware. I was quite delighted to see them after reading all this "linux freeware" bullshit that you see everywhere. They got a few points wrong but most the important stuff is set straight.
GNU wants its name to be associated with stable software, but any stable software is undtable at some earlier point, don't you think? Why an unstable GNOME was released as 1.0 is another quiestion, but associating the GNU name has nothing to do with it.
If you were using the right distribution, you were just typing "apt-get install gnome-panel gnome-session..." and all the dependeicies were solved for you automatically.
It worked fine for me with one of the previous 2.2.0-pre kernels, but it screwed up X so I went back to the regular console. Why would anyone want to use it anyway? Apart from the cute penguin logo during bootup I couldn't detect any change.

Hehe, the Linux-IL mafia does well. :-)
