>Ad hominem attacks on people they obviously know nothing about Actually it's this kind of slander that brought me to OpenBSD. While looking for an OS that didn't embrace "Trusted Computing", I came across Theo's wikipedia entry which pounded on him so extensively that it raised a flag. Extra points for the stab from Linus "no-lube-needed/I-can't-feel-a-thing-by-now". Without the slander I probably would have stuck with Plan 9.
