4/33 CSUA Fall 2000 Poll of What the officers run Results:
President: paolo (linux - slackware)
\_ I thought Paolo's OS of the week was OpenBSD,
becasue he's a '1337 H@x0r, and it's kR@d to be
into security.
\_ No. It's cool not to get fucked over by the latest
buffer over flow bug in Linux/Windows.
Vice-President: mikeh (bsd - FreeBSD)
Secretary: lye (linux - redhat)
\_ He "wants" to run RedHat, but uses Win9x.
\_ taking 162 == barely enough time to wash hair,
let alone install 31337 h2x@r os... besides,
computers suck. i think an iroc-z would get
me more wimmin. -lye
Treasurer: ajani (linux - debian)
Librarian: ][e (linux - ppc)
\_ Does 2e even run Linux on his own computer?
AFAIK, he uses MacOS.
\_ he's on a research group. Dual Xeon sits on
his desk. It's running linux. I don't think
he even uses his laptop anymore (it's broken
and sent back to apple)
\_ It's a Dual PIII, and is shared by everyone
in that group.
I'd be really impressed to see you
get LinuxPPC on a x86.
"And lo, as fortold by the prophets, it has come to pass that
the Daemon giveth way."

\_ The Dreaming Tree has died.
\_ Paolo is president again? What kind of morons vote for this moron?
\_ You moron.
\_ A good thing the VP was someone with OS choice clue.
\_ I heard mikeh invented the Internet.
\_ mikeh can't be VP forever. in 2 years, Soda will be linux.
I just hope not redhat.
\_ The alumni will never allow such heresy. (Just remember
who bought Soda Mk V.)
\_ So, besides becoming more of a target for script kiddies,
what benefits would Linux on Soda bring? None of the people
who really want to switch to the trendier option (ie
just Paolo) can explain how Linux would work better
on Soda. -mikeh
\_ Oh, that's not the argument. Fact: after mikeh, there
aren't any new users using bsd that I've seen hanging
around the office/wanting to be vp. Therefore, in the
future, unless the alums are _really_ nice and chummy,
the future admin will probably use what 0S she/he is
familiar with. - paolo (who doesn't plan to run for
VP any time soon)
\_ The VP does not have unilateral control over everything
on soda. The alumni offer a great deal of support to
soda; I plan to do likewise when I graduate, but if some
new clueless hotshot comes along and tears out all the
work that we've done, I'll be significantly less motivated
to help. Besides, it's sad that nobody, yourself included
Paolo, is willing to learn and work with something that's
not the latest trend. -mikeh
\_ i ran freebsd on my old box. I don't anymore.
I don't have that much school spirit I guess.
\_ What does school spirit have to do with it?
\_ 'bout the only reason to run BSD.
\_ Kewlness being the only reason to run Linux
\_ You know, none of the CSUA members ran Dynix at home.
Only Alan (AFAIK) ran Domain_OS at home. Yet that's
what soda ran for years n' years. Yet somehow, the VPs
of that day and age were familiar with those OSes. How
do you figure that could have been? -- fuddy duddy
\_ We need a kewle OS on soda so it can run slower
with more hardware and be down every other day
for kernel 'upgrades' and buffer overflow bugs.
\_ I've still got that Apollo if anyone wants it.
68030/16Mhz, 8Mb RAM, 170Mb ESDI HD -alan-
\_ Only blojo is naysayer --pld
\_ WAAAAh. You mean you ugrads aren't compleetely under my
power? WAAAAAh. I'm going to take my toys and go home.
WAAAh. Lameness.
\_ Hey, is the TDA up and running? Vadim got it running raid
with linux (dbl ended). How's fbsd with that raid?
\_ Works fine. What do you think the TDA was running
when it was in service?
\_ !freebsd 4.0?
\_ Yeah, fbsd 4.0 was the first version of fbsd.
\_ FreeBSD 3.x, courtesy of Satoshi Asami.
\_ Hi. In case you haven't heard. We have mark 6 now. this wasn't
an alumni donation.
\_ I like speaking. In short sentences. Because I'm cool.
\_ Well, I guess that's that. Current student body has no need
for dinoalumni. We have no value (until you become one and
need a job or a clue). It's time to go ahead and wipe all
the alumni accounts. Makes more room for pr0n and in
\_ YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING OR I WILL COME BACK TO
BERKELEY TO HURT YOU
/var/spool/mail for those unable to figure out how to use a
real mail program and .forward files.
\_ Not all alumns are viscious dour naysayers.
\_ And some of us even know how to spell. Maybe we'll get a
Redhat RPM for /usr/bin/motdspell.
\_ no, we're viscous dour naysayers. -John
\_ yes. slippery as eels in magma. |
