Icecast 2.0 Released

ArcRiley writes "After 3 years of development and 6 weeks of beta testing, Icecast 2.0 has been officially released! Features include support for both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, a web administration interface, support for listing in directories (such as dir.xiph.org), and is freely available under the GNU GPL for Linux and Windows."

3 years of testing and it goes down in 5 seconds

Gotta love the slashdot effect. 15 comments and the servers down..

Is the only recorded instance where the slashdot troll Eric S RayRNond is more articulate, informative (and sane) than the person he's pretending to be?

Where were the fraudelent claims of importance? Where was the gloating about wealth? Where was the entirely-out-of-context firearm advocacy? Its a very poor ESR impersonation, if it lacks those things.

On a lighter note, the real Eric Raymond is a tit man. [asstr.org]

Kill -STOP never felt so good :-)

Apologies; an ill-timed cron job strangled the disk throughput on the web server.

But really, who the Hell reads Slashdot before noon? Jeez people, go sleep. CVS will still be there come dusk...

Icecast is a great piece of software.. I use it to stream music to myself when I am away from my PC.

I prefer micecast [licensingbydesign.co.uk] myself.

Yawwwwwwwwn!!!
