Yeah, bad luck. And I quote from your own words:

I played with a spare disk (small one) I had, and a backup script,
using tar... It happened that I was very drunk that night, and it
seemed like the best idea to play with the script

Your honor, this is a clear and cut case of DUI - Debugging Under the
Influence. The accused was trying to hide his actions, as is plainly
clear from his words again:

...a user starts talkint to me, saying he can't login to his home
dir... I've explained there are some maintanance works on the server,
and that it will be ok by morning. He claimed he can't read his mail
using pine (wonder why...), and I've used the same explanation...

After this overwhelming evidence, the prosecution demands that the
accused will receive the maximum penalty set for DUI in the law:
Running Windows 3.10 for 3 years.

A Brief History of Linux in Israel

2005-04-23 Thread Shlomi Fish
Hi good people! (and Happy Passover)

I wrote a document entitled A Brief History of Linux in Isreal over at the 
Hackers-IL wiki:

http://www.hackers.org.il/mediawiki/index.php/A_Brief_History_of_Linux_in_Israel

I did the best to get the facts right, and do justice to the history. I'm not 
aware of any other one who documented the Israeli open-source history this 
way. Note that the page is world-editable so feel free to correct typos and 
stuff. I just ask that if you have more substantial modifications you'd like 
to incorporate there, that you'll raise them here before actually editing the 
page.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Happy Pesach to all,
For our seder tonight (I'm in CA right now) we're each supposed to bring
something remotely connected with Pesach. Can any of you think of a
connection between Pesach and Linux ?
Perhaps I can write a parody of the exodus with Bill Gates as Pharoh and
Linus (or Eric?) as Moses ...

How about 1.0 then? Given some time, I can provide a 5.25 diskette
