The North American date format wasn't that hard to work out - though I
suspect Liam is taking the p1ss (2 weeks late?).
what I don't understand is why anyone thought that debian.org had been
"hacked" (the debian.org joke being that an alliance of community
distros had been formed).
I particularly enjoyed:-
"Robin H. Johnson, lead of the Gentoo Infrastructure team, in a panel of
core Gentoo developers at SCALE9x: "I really hate compiling-induced
downtime. I've been looking forward to installing packages with just a
couple of keystrokes. By building on the efforts of other successful
distributions, we can take the drudgery out of system maintenance.""
:-D
