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 -- Tuttle? His name's Buttle. There must be some mistake. Mistake?
