Dear Freinds, Well when i met vishal gupta and his so called techie team...they didnt even know what slashdot or freshmeat meant(pork...i guess...:-)))....these guys even asked me into assisting them into helping them setup procmail.... Well when i was first given a peak at this distro...it had the redhat installer and at the time of booting up it said welcome to aryabhatta and after the booting process was over at the login prompt it mentioned Redhat 6.1 - cartman....sigh...so i dared ask his tech.head..whats this...and he spurted out we haven't found a way to hack this.....oops.... well these guys had never even tried any distro except redhat.... and since when has qmail turned a mail client as the article quotes... i think we need not worry about any disrepute to linux...as this is a pure RedHat distro....i dread to think what would have happened if this guy woulld have made his own distro....:-(( hiroshima 45 chernobyl 86 windows 95 aryabhatta 2000...:-))))) happy guessing.... regards >From: "G.Sagar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [Fwd: Regarding ur article in BT dt - 13-04-2000 [Fwd: [ILUG-BOM] >aryabhatt]] >Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 12:49:46 +0530 >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >okay ....though thanks to dinesh for taking the initiative of forwarding it >to BT, i do notice a few holes in the draft meself. anyways ..satya has >pointed out them all. nevertheless, heres me 2 cents pouring in : > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Satya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> >> If you haven't sent this already, stop now.
