Yep. Good isn't it? And even if the main developers are ousted, the project is open source (I have the tree ;) so someone could fork it and distribute via freenet.

I just ./update.sh, no need for anything else. I am getting tired of the RAM usage, but until it compiles with cgj then I'm stuck with it. I've got bandwidth to burn at the moment (100GB/month, outbound.) I'm aiming for 1GB/day of outbound at the moment. Haven't worked out the rate for that yet, but I will. I support freedom of speach. And while there's precious little speach on Freenet as compared to movies and pictures, I think it'll grow. Some time soon I'll get a freesite up. -- Phillip Hutchings [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sitharus.com/ _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
