Actually, there's been a huge thread on an OpenBSD mailing list with DJB telling people to "do what he says" and the/package,/doc and/service is better, breaking their filesystem hier(7)archy. The result is that the OpenBSD port maintainers have removed all DJB software from the ports tree, and now DJB is now switching to FreeBSD.
I'm a happy djbdns user but I find it to be less scalable (backup name servers for a domain) without some amounts of work to write rsync scripts, etc.
PS: I love UNIX fs hierarchy and do not intend to change it whatever DJB says.
Some other guy has an init replacement called runit written in the DJB style.

And for Linux, Felix von Leitner has the coolest init replacement, minit.

I find it more up to date than the stable version of Debian and it has a smaller release cycle, so you don't have to wait 2 years. I'm not even going to compare it to other RPM based distros like RedHat, SuSE or Mandrake. Very fast, very simple init scripts, although it doesn't have i686 optimizations (which can sometimes lead to malfunctioning programs) like Gentoo and the like. It has always worked for me. I'm using debian/testing now and I'm seriosly considering a move to 9.1 now that slack finally has that swaret tool in it and updates aren't a pain anymore.
I'm using fluxbox, but I tried out XFCE and I really like it. It's very cool in terms of speed and very good looking too. My girlfriend loves it too, so I configured her user with XFCE running the Aqua theme. Maybe I could make Linux suck less for her, thanx to this nice DE.
FreeS/WAN isn;t in the stable kernel yet (i heard it was integrated 2.5 tho), but the BSDs have solid IPSec implementations already. Why would anyone use some lousy user space crypto thingie with more bugs? VPN tunnels with Windows? Maybe. And then again, there is OpenVPN.
Put your e-mail address on a high traffic web site with a mailto: link. Probably putting you're e-amil address in your slashdot signature and writing a lot of comments will help too. Spammers will eventually scan it and log it.
Well banks have a lot of money and they'll usually care about support blah blah. I know a friend of mine works in a bank that has migrated all their Netware 6 file servers that worked just fine to Win2k with Active Directory which is painfully slow. They also replaced a FreeBSD proxy (as it was "insecure") with Win2K with M$ ISA server. Great!
Try SuSE. It's the next best thing to RedHat and they have better tech support. Also, YaST is pretty cool. A friend of mine does upgrades from cron every week.
Well they bought a Romanian AV company called RAV. They used to have anti virus products for Linux and FreeBSD (to scan for wind0ze viruses of course), but no more now.
Heh they should sue the chinese gov't in China. Then Darl McBride during his next trip to china will be arrested at the airport and then shot on the stadium.
Come on everybody now, clap your hands I'm gonna sing my song and you won't take long We gotta sue SCO and it goes like this: Let's sue again like we did last summer, Yea, let's sue again like we did last year. Don't you remember when intelectual property was really hummin' Yea, let's sue again, suin' time is here Yeah round 'n around 'n up 'n to court we go again Oh baby make me know you sue SCO an' then Come on let's sue again like we did last summer Girl, let's sue again like we did last year. Let's sue again like we did last summer...
I tried to download i686 stage3 iso from the torrent but it just plain sucks. It stopped at 6% an hour ago and doesn't start moving since. I even stopped it and tried getting the file again but no luck. Ahh, I guess stage3 just isn't that popular. Yea, I guess I'd be better off with an optimized ls(1) which would list files blazing fast, heh.
Yesterday I've been browsing a freesite (on Freenet) called Subversive Bookwarez which had a nice logo depicting a human upside down with the words smash your state written underneath, distributing books like Ray Bradbury's Farhrenheit 451, Orwell's 1984, some Philip K. Dick books, etc. Very nice stuff.
I think sites like raisethefist.com should not be taken down, regardless of bomb making instructions, etc. Next thing you know, they're gonna shut google down for returning search results on "home made bombs".
I believe KDE has too many bells and whistles distracting the user. I'm talking thing enables by default like animated mouse cursors, task-bar apps. Some of the task bar apps are really clumsy (eg. the disk mount thingie, I had to show my dad trice until he could use it -- and he's not a moron). Nevertheless, I find KDE easier to use than the new default Winzode XP look. Always switch that to classic.
Slashdot Mirror
GTK2 seems really fast with XFCE, wonder why. People say GTK2 is too bloated.

How about distributing RBL data over gnutella or similar.
It's time to move to an open IM now that everybody is closing doors to 3rd party IM clients. Why are people using proprietary IM anyways?

Richard Stallman should probably sue them.
We'll just share them over freenet along with instructions on how to build bombs and the like.

It would be fun to see a virus infected ATM spitting out cash.
I think they published FreeBSD for a while, then stopped and now FreeBSD Mall does the publishing.
Try SuSE. It's the next best thing to RedHat and they have better tech support. Also, YaST is pretty cool. A friend of mine does upgrades from cron every week.
Well the author could have just written the worm and stfu. Very unlikely but it can happen.

This is not about uncle sam, it's governments that use or want to use Linux, like the gov't of India, the local gov't of Munich, etc.
Irrelevant. These contributions were released under the GPL.

Yea, let's sue again, suin' time is here

Oh baby make me know you sue SCO an' then
Come on let's sue again like we did last summer
Girl, let's sue again like we did last year.

Yay! Another sitting duck DDoS target for the 1337 5cr1pt k1dd13Z.
