[olug] Too Cool!

[Quinn Coldiron]

That's cool.  Back in 1996 I wrote a paper on replacing WindowsNT with
Linux/Samba as I had done for a department at UNL.  Somebody sent it to
CmdrTaco and it got posted as a main story on Slashdot.  I felt the
Slashdot effect on my server for a week solid.  The hard drive lights
stayed solid red for almost a week!

Later in 1998, a co-worker and I went to Linux World and took pics and
did end-of day summaries.  That too got posted as a main story.  By this
time I had a bigger, dual CPU web server with a 500GB Hardware RAID5
system.  The Slashdot effect on it was fun to watch...all those dancing
lights on the RAID.  Just like Christmas :-)

Congrats Eric!!

You don't "install" web pages; you simply visit them.
Why should applications be any different?
