So, basically _all_ of the original BBC maintainers were laid off from Linuxcare, almost all at once. That left basically one guy who had even peripheral involvement, and I believe that was David Desrosiers (but may be misremembering). When Seth David Shoen was laid off, he announced the fork because nobody among the traditional maintainers had access to the company-internal CVS. The LNX-BBC fork was thus the direct descendent of (if memory serves) Linuxcare BBC v. 1.21. Nothing whatsoever happened with the original fork for a long time, after that. Then, suddenly the BBC got renamed to LBT just in time for Linuxworld, and new v. 1.5 came out -- followed later by 2.0. Both projects' images are absolutely worth having. Just this evening, a fellow brought by a PIII system to my user group on which LNX-BBC 1.618 hanged during hardware recognition, but LBT 2.0 worked beautifully. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
