That team had more experience with FreeBSD (and considered briefly to replace the Linux with that) and installed some programs off of a FreeBSD CD. Somehow this got blown up in the news... See e.g. (in German): http://www.de.freebsd.org/de/archive/de-bsd-chat.99/0176.html news:///<7p9r88$6bt$1@gamma.ray.org> Both are accounts of participants of that team. A rough translation of the former mail: "... That doesn't exactly fit the truth, but it's good press :-). The others "stole" our net access with a tcp/udp connection resetter. So I asked someone to fetch my FreeBSD 3.2 CDs, since they have the unmodified sources in distfiles/. That wouldn't have been possible with Redhat-CDs :-)" Bye, Philipp -- http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~un1i/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
