since these software releases keep getting posted anyway, why not post them from a new author, called "FreshMeat" or whatever, and allow people to block out all articles posted by that author?? This way, those of us who LIKE seeing this stuff on/. can, and those who don't, won't.
Looking at the jump in graphic-quality from Wolf3d --> Doom, and then the jump from Doom --> Quake, how much better do you think these games can it get?

too bad the uptime rolls over after several hundred days...:(
you completely missed my point. The cheapest version of RH6 that you can get from Redhat them selves is about $40 for the hard core version, which "comes with only CDs and the Official Red Hat Linux Installation Guide."=$39.95
I'd wouldn't mind buying it from RedHat instead of Cheapbytes, but the differece between $40 and $2 is a big difference.
now that they're worth so much, how about not charging $70 bucks to buy it? Or at least make an offical CD that isn't ten times as expensive as cheapbytes....

Gee, how'd they do that, considering the latest 2.2.x is 2.2.14?

Only if you consider usenet posting as a bulk, commerical email.
