This isn't slashdot

Well, duh.

Of course, you realize that there are people who run Linux, and of those people who run Linux, not all of them who visit RG also visit /. on a regular basis (like myself). Those people might like to hear about an upgrade to their OS, since Linux doesn't have the same hype machine that Microsoft does. Shit, it's not as if he's up there MS bashing.

That said, I really don't want to hear about a new kernel other than 2.4.x. : )


I'm the man on the silver mountain.

I read slashdot and I don't even like Linux, it offers way more than just Linux kernel updates and is worth reading. Anyway, I'm just wondering why that's the only post Chris makes that entire day. It would be nice if emulation news was sprinkled in there too maybe... like... why the latest news update on ultrahle.com is gone...

I'm really curious now, why, when you started talking about Slashdot and Linux, did you automatically think of MS bashing? But speaking of which, I rarely see updates about MS OS's on there (new builds of Whistler, etc), but that's alright because I want it to stay a General Emulation Site rather than a general news site. The occasional humour post or abstract fact post is cool, but the people who post those also post emulation news. The person who posted the kernel update only posted about that.

Aren't there emulators for *nix? I rarely see any posts about them... It's supposed to be the perfect OS... or is it?

Keep it retro!

The MS bashing refers to some previous news posts Chris made, oh, about a couple months ago, where the basic gist was "Linux updated, M$ sux0r, Linux 0wnz j00." You might not have seen them. Besides, kernel posts are OK IMO, because that's the core of the Linux OS. If there's a critical Windows patch, I wouldn't mind hearing about it either for the same reason.

You want news on Unix emus? Z0ph4r 0wnz j00. When they do post news on emus, they do the occasional *nix emu post, too. They have a fair section of emus for *nix, too.

Hmm, this is a bit off topic, ok, way off topic, but what IS the latest build of whistler?

Peace!

Who cares, he is posting emulation news too, isn't it good enough he's on the team?
