    Although I don't use NetBSD (did for a short period of time, but now a FreeBSD user), this is still happy news for me.

    Hmmmm, I wonder who's poor 486 got stuck with the 4000 package bulk build...

    That support article was last reviewed on 22 April 2003, but it doesn't say why

    That would probably be when they docked the 'Q' prefix from all of their articles, which was probably one of the most idiotic things they've done as well as introduce about a billion new locale problems and a non-functional search-engine.

    Oh well... At least my windows machine has been classed (by me) as legacy.

  10. Re:Trust them on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    If that's the kind minds that parents have these days then I'm glad that mine didn't catch on to it (I'm 16 BTW).

    I basically have complete control and responsibility of all of the machines in my house and the network access (or lack thereof, depending on the weather).

    Its not that my parents aren't particularily tech-savvy about these things, its that they trust me to be somewhat responsible with the material that look at and download.

    It's not a lack of parenting, its called 'growing up'

  11. Personal websites for who? on Why Personal Websites Matter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I originally created my website to share my ideas and opinions on the world, but I realised that there is already too much out there (the blog-boom?) and I didn't need to be an endless source of flames.
    Now my site has taken a new edge to it, it no longer related to anybody but those who know me and live around me. Some people would concider my site to be of any marketable or even personal value anymore, but it doesn't matter. The only people who matter are the people who you want it to matter to (seriously, how many of you think that people in a fridge or road cones on buildings matter?).

  13. Just Linux...? on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    Strange how although they explicity mention that Linux will run, we still don't have any solid confirmation coming from the mouth of the overseer that BSD, Netware or Solaris will work.

    I don't think -
    "will run almost any x86 operating system in a Virtual PC environment"
    Makes the cut. I was more hoping for a -
    "You absolutely can run [{Linux, Solaris, BSD, Netware}] in Virtual PC"
    Statement.
