H. Peter Anvin: It never rains but it pours... [kernel.org server down] (Dec 19, 2001, 04:02)
"Well, after spending close to two hours bringing the old
kernel.org server back to life it died again after less than 10
minutes. I hereby declare the current zeus.kernel.org officially
DEAD. This suddenly meant that getting the new server from Compaq
fully provisioned suddenly (and very ill-timedly) became a very
high priority. We're still waiting for a set of disk drives from
Compaq, so it's not going to happen today or tomorrow."

Linux Journal: Perceptions of the Linux OS Among Undergraduate System Administrators (Dec 19, 2001, 03:53)
"At the start of this academic year, I informally surveyed the
31 students enrolled in the module about their exposure to Linux.
Most (if not all) had some exposure to the OS. I probed further and
asked how many students had used Linux as the basis of their
third-year project (the previous year). One or two hands were
raised. Then the first shock came: someone blurted out, 'nearly
everyone who used Linux last year went on to fail their
project'."
