Because Tridge is pretty conservative on releases. Beta really means BETA 'though. Not semi-functional Alpha. AD- support! Goodbye Windows at my house...

The alphs version was actually pretty decent too and Webmin already has support for it.

Does it have "net crash NT"

[georgeha]

I see there's a whole slew of net commands to mimic Windows (nice to have when your GUI is stupid, or you have to browse thousands on Windows machines). I wonder if it includes a command to crash an NT, with the right packet sequence.

Weekend Insignificance?

This seems to be a pretty important milestone.

Unfortunately, since the story was posted over the weekend, a lot of /. readers won't see it.

Please, go ahead and post a duplicate story - blame it on me. I just want to read what knowledgeable people have to write.

I think it's more a case that some stories, like this one, don't show up on the default front page. It is nice to be able to see an article now and again that's not swamped with too many comments. They tend to degredate the signal to noise ratio.
