I knew he was planning to change his nick, but I havn't seen any of his
posts since around then.

Even the COLA FAQ posts have stopped.  I wonder what's up?

To the COLA advocate Formerly known as Kenneth Downs, if you are about,
then give us a sign!

We miss you.

This is becoming a habit. You did it, Terry did it and now Ken. Could
it be alians taking Linux advocates to study as they are the most
advanced life form on the planet? Nah, these things don't hap

He is probably in search of Terry Porter (the real one). :)

Quoting unnamed sources, rapskat claimed:

I'm here, barely.  Several things have conspired to keep me away.  First,
work and home have both gotten a little more intense, and that hour or so a
day I used to spend here disappeared.

Second, my ISP went under, DirecTV, and it looks like I left leafnode trying
to post to their news server.  If you get this message, I fixed it. :)  

Also, I think that is why the FAQ disappeared.  

As for Linux Advocacy, I found myself in a fascinating conversation the
other day on the train.  When a complete stranger starts asking questions
like, "I'm in TV, what can it do for me?" it is nice to say, "Hey, I'm no
expert on every industry, but I'm watching it roll through Hollywood, Wall
Street, and so forth, you just wait."

Am now looking for a laptop that comes sans Microsoft Tax.

What is it with you and Terry?

Quote:> unless you feel like paying more for a laptop that comes with less.

I have no trouble finding such a laptop, and guess what? It costs quite
a bit to have Windows on it. It's 150$ for XP Home and 230$ for XP Pro.
This is for a 1500$ laptop, BTW.

Myself, I want one of these:

(about halfway down.)

A laptop with *two* completely different Unici on it.  Cool.

He posted as "The Student" for a little while but he *does* seem to have
gone awfully quiet
 
 
 

1. Whatever has happend to SLS?

I am currently mirroring both TSX-11 and Sunsite and I observe that the SLS
distribution on these sites seems to be stagnant. Has Peter gone completely
commercial now? If so, what is the currently accepted 'standard' distribution?
