I know that there is great debate over the future of the various Linux distributions. Now I am seriously concerned for the future of Debian.
As we all know (or at least those of us up-to-date with the current news of the US), a group of computer-literate people just killed themselves so that they could 'hop' (an interesting combination of the name of the comet) on Hale-Bopp (or at least on a spaceship associated with it). Now, the leader of this group was/is (depending upon your beliefs) a man who at one time called himself 'Bo'. Hopefully you can see my concern for Debian. It must not be a coincidence that the next release of Debian bears this name...that it will be release just as Hale-Bopp hurtles away from the inner solar system. I solemly hope that, with the release of bo, the entire Debian developers team does not use the same cosmic 'hlt' instruction! Just a thought. (Hope its not wasting too much bandwidth...) Paul
