mg name origin
Anyone know the history behind mg being called mg? THis in the mg tutorial (/usr/share/doc/mg/tutorial): The mg editor was originally named MicroGNUEmacs. The name was changed to mg at the request of Richard Stallman,... The second sentence suggests Richard Stallman suggested the name mg but in the README we have: Mg was formerly named MicroGnuEmacs, the name change was done at the request of Richard Stallman. Which suggests he only requested the change, not the precise name. Anyone know? mark

Re: Yerevan, Aremenia and OpenBSD Users
Hi Inna, Thanks for the email. Busy packing at the moment (moving tomorrow). Will get in touch once everything has settled down. I'm hearing from a couple of sources FreeBSD is more popular in Armenia. Do you know of any other companies/individuals that use OpenBSD over there? -mark On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 8:14 PM, Mark Lumsden m...@cyodesigns.com wrote: Hi, Hi, Mark!
