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.

6 months ago, i was still a Slackware user. (well, almost; I installed 
debian for the first time in Aug. 96) Before the release of Debian 1.1 it 
was say everywhere "Debian is beta", so not too many people tries i guess.
But 1.1 being pictured as stable, and many people needing to upgrade 
their system to kernel 2.0 many (including me) installed Debian at that time.

And our installed base is still growing. 8 months back none of my friends 
where running Debian, now at least 10 use it (probably not only because I 
influence them, but they also appear to appreciate it).

This is great! (cf: my post 2 days ago about Debian PPC ;)
