The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Now thats good news... and gives some promise.

Oh yes, there is a great difference...

I totally agree here.

In that case, I suggest we should try and promote the support of Netscape
for Linux.

The problem that has been reported here, is a bug with Netscape.  I have
run Netscape on a remote Indy... only using my doddy computer here as a
visual.  And the result was a 4mb core dump on the Indy.  Netscape has
an option to limit the amount of colors it is to use... and running
Netscape in mono mode, gives full color of the web contents on my
hardware (which means it works with my svgalib), so all the components are
in place for it.

>About the fact that Netscape doesn't work on your hardware ... well,

>You can't do everything. None can.
Mosaic works fine here...  I use it instead of Netscape.

I know you can't do everything... but reading that they don't support GNU
gave the impression that they very well knew about the problem, and were
ignoring it on purpose... if that turns out to be wrong, and I certainly
hope so... I'll gladly eat my bits and run Netscape with a smile (I do
on Indy :-).
