Hi guys,
Sorry for the VERY LATE reply and to whomever I might have offended in this list I
apologise. Been thru weeks of sleepless nights doing very challenging stuffs with my
team of engineers that I will be GPL-ing and giving away the codes and of course
provide manuals and technical write-ups. Millions of people will be delighted and I
hope that pieces of codes will get better in time.
Back to this email, have we completed our requirement list for Compaq to fit the
server for us (the donated server)? About the review... we will ONLY be testing Redhat
6.0 on the ALPHA server guys. Nothing else.
I am meeting Richard Wern sometime next week... *aaaaaahhh* finally I am free again...
anyone free to join me during the period between 6 - 8 pm ???
Cheers!
Moonshi Mohsenruddin
