As I believe Jordan said awhile back - slashdot is really only useful to
watch for announcements and such.

Then I wonder why less than half of the articles on slashdot are concerned
w/ Linux.  Today's selection is:

	Tech visas approved 
	Linux Advocacy for Business
	POSIX on top of MacOS 
	Feature:The Linux Standard Base System (or how to have more of a 
		single distribution, like say FreeBSD)
	Ask Slashdot:Trouble After KDE Install 
	Name the International Space Station 
	RMS plugin clarification
	Charles Hines Leaves fvwm 2.x 
	Project MagicSmoke 
	Monday's Quickies  (like interesting topics of the Telepathic
		Clapper)
