dolci parole per le orecchie di chi adora slack ;)

2003.12.18, Thursday :: MPlayerHQ OS change to Slackware
posted by Gabucino

From December 17 14:30 until early this morning, our main server has undergone 
an OS reinstall (not winXP). The Debian Woody to Slackware transition did not 
have much effect on the CVS service, but the HTTP, FTP and mail services have 
suffered slight downtimes.
We had several reasons for the reinstall:

   1. MPlayerHQ was cracked on November 16 17:50, but noticed 10 minutes later 
due to some hidden traps. Possibly due to recent lame Linux kernel 
vulnerability (greetz to kernel devs for not publishing details much 
earlier).
   2. The old OS was installed 3 years ago, so time to clean up the mess
   3. Debian sucks - that's the opinion of most of the core developers
   4. Mailing migrated from sendmail+qmail combination to a single postfix 
installation

For further information, read the mail of A'rpi.
