/. gets cracked
---------------

	Yes. www.slashdot.org just got cracked - 
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/09/29/1245218.shtml

	The sad thing about the post detailing /.'ers is that the guy
posting about the break-in (think it was CmdrTaco) is still pretty
confused on whether he should use "hacker" or "cracker" and there is a 
good 50-50 usage of both , kinda like, "I said the right thing (among
other things) and hence I'm right..." ... pretty pathetic if you ask
me.

	
 dpkg versus rpm 
 ---------------

	There is a beautiful debate going on at 
 http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/09/16/969163199.html  and I wonder if
any of you guys are following it?

	One last thing to debianers - licq 0.85-8 is broken - stick to 
using -5 ... I learnt it the hard way :( .. And glibc is broken in the 
last upgrade of woody or somesuch was what I heard - so "unstable" is
pretty much broken ... atleast at the moment - maybe they really
should go ahead with the "testing" distro and the "unstable" distro. 

	hasta lavista,

	-ravi
