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.

On another, related note, there was this article in comp.os.linux.misc that
I saw the other day:

From: choward@sh1.ro.com (Chris Howard)
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.misc
Subject: Interest in cheap Alpha Linux systems..
Date: 12 Nov 1996 21:19:52 GMT
Message-ID: <56aplo$bp2@news.ro.com>

Is there interest in cheap alpha Linux systems out there?  I may have
a chance to offer a Alpha 166mhz, 24 meg, 500 meg HD, Ethernet, SCSI 2
TGA graphics, with Alpha Linux installed at a very good price ~$500.  If
I don't have these yet.. just trying to see if it would be worth my
time to get the.


More Info...

166 Mhz Alpha Processor
TGA graphics accelerator(VGA compatable)
24 MB memory
256 KB cache
528 MB, 2.5-inch SCSI hard drive
1 PCI slot
2 PCMCIA slots
2 serial ports
1 parallel port
Ethernet connectors (twisted pair,
Floppy disk drive
SCSI-2 connector
VGA monitor connector
PS/2 keyboard connector
Mouse
Audio jacks

[end article]

Looking at the specs, you'd need to add a keyboard and monitor to it; the
low number of slots is of slight concern, but then, it'd be comparable to
a mid to high-range PPro, I would think. Don't ask me - ask the author of
the original article about it! :-) It might also need more RAM; I'm not
all that familiar with the alpha architecture (even though I have access
to 19 of them here at Monash - sixteen workstations, 3 AlphaServers - I
just use them, I don't maintain them :)
