From what I have heard, there were two American planes that you never wanted to see as the enemy - The Tomcat and the Warthog. One's a beauty, and one's fugly.
Umm, I'm running 5.3-STABLE now actually;
kristin# uname -a
FreeBSD kristin.lpl.nu 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #17: Tue Oct 26 00:29:25 CEST 2004 root@kristin.lpl.nu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KRISTIN i386
I'm tracking RELENG_5 in case anyone is wondering.
CVSWeb
also has some interesting reading...
For those not bothering to check the link, FreeBSD has gone from 5.3-STABLE -> 5.3-RELEASE -> 5.3 RC1 and now 5.3 RC2!?

I tested it on a FreeBSD-STABLE server with Samba 2.2.5 and it didn't crash the server or otherwise affect it. Win2K boxen without MS02-045 (Q326830) rebooted instantly, and WinNT boxen crashed services.exe and just hung bigtime. Not even Ctrl+Alt+Del worked.

Media giant threatens 16 year old computer genius CNN Norway -- 16 year old Jon Johansen cracked the codes that protect the DVD discs. Now, mediagiants like Sony, Warner and Disney wants to punish the norwegian. This Monday he sat 7 hours in police interrigation.
- We have sued Jon and Per Johansen on behalf of MPA and DVD CCA, confirms Espen Tøndel, a lawyer at the lawfirm Simonsen Musæus.
Motion Picture Association (MPA) is the assocation that preserves the interests of the 7 largest movie companies in the US; Walt Disney, Sony Pictures, MGM, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox. Universal Studios and Warner Bros.
DVD CCA is the association that controls and protects the copyrights on DVD products.
Jon and his father is charged with violation of the copyright law, and the "punishment law", since the 16 year old has participated in an internation ring that developed and distributed the program DeCSS. The program makes it possible to copy DVD-movies.
- The charges is wrong. The code on the DVD discs is not a copyprotection, but a playing protection. We only made it possible to play DVD movies on our own computers, said Johansen to VG after he was released from the interrogation monday night.
Økokrim also searched the home of the 16 year old school pupil, from Steinsholt in Vestfold.
Johansen had to give up his cell. phone, computers, CD's and all the passwords on his computers.
The State Attorney in Økokrim, Inger Marie Sunde, confirms to Aftenposten that the interrogation courts has given the police it's permission for them to search the home of Jon Johansen. Sunde says that Økokrim takes crime like Jon has been charged for, very seriously.
Johansen became a celebrity in the computer circles when it was learned that last year he had been a member of the group MoRE, that cracked the protection codes to the DVD movies. Already at that time, when Jon Johansen was 15, he was contacted by the firm Simonsen Musæus, who asked him to remove the information regarding DeCSS.
Last week, the MPA got an approval in an American court to remove all links to DeCSS from all American sites.
They (Jon and his dad) are the only ones in the world that have been charged, since the MPA got an approval from an American court to remove all Internet links to DeCSS. But he doesn't regret that he came out with his full name after the news about DeCSS was known.
- Somebody has to fight this, he says, and prepares for a long night.
Johansen has posted his version about the Økokrim actions on the website Slashdot.org
CNN Norway has written this article with the help of Verdens Gang.
