First of all, this is Matt Blaze's pet project, not a product of AT&T. It is given away for free and you should be happy to get it at all -- no one is obligated to give you a gift. Have you mailed him a Linux machine to do his testing on? Why do you assume he even has one? As it happens, he doesn't, and probably doesn't want to go through the hassle of paying for a computer and putting Linux on it.
Be happy he's given you anything at all.
If you are going to do it, do it right the first time.
Second, I really doubt Blaze has a problem obtaining access to computing power and a $25 CD should be within his budget.
I am annoyed. Matt Blaze has no obligation to produce CFS for free, let alone a version for dummies. And boy, are you a dummy. As someone who has hacked away at CFS for a long time now on several platforms, including linux, I can state that the issues of porting CFS to linux were trivial and involved a one line sed on the rpcgen output. The more recent versions of linux don't even require this. Further, Matt is hardly the government/corporate lacky that you suggest him to be. Why don't you read some of his papers before you show your technical and social ignorance? Get a life. -- +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ |Julian Assange | "if you think the United States has | |FAX: +61-3-9819-9066 | has stood still, who built the largest | |EMAIL: proff@suburbia.net | shopping centre in the world?" - Nixon | +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
