But http://slashdot.org/articles/98/11/02/1721255.shtml would still have been a better URL. > The URL is correct; I suggest your http cache may be giving you > heartburn. Not at all. But most slashdot stuff is written by individuals. Apparently one message really does suggest that FreeBSD is about to split up--see today's -questions. This message is also apparently by an individual. http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,28215,00.html?st.ne.ni.lh seems to be more reliable there, but I'll really believe it when WSJ publishes it.
