Linux Enthusiast Successfully Loads Slashdot

Chomsky writes "The linux/technical community was both shocked and dismayed this morning, as reports filtered through the internet of a linux enthusiast successfully loading the Slashdot news website in Netscape. The news was at first met with mostly suspicion and skepticism. "It just seems so unlikely", said longtime linux advocate Pengo the Penguin. "In the past week I've gotten through like, twice at the most. It's that cursed 'Everything' section, I'm telling ya." The interviewee then ate a bucket of raw fish and belched loudly. Not everyone is as skeptical though. An anonymous caller claimed to be using a beowulf cluster comprised of 64 alphas to calculate and predict successful connections to the Slashdot website. "Although it sounds like a hoax, we predicted this connection", said the caller. "According to our calculations, someone will connect again early next week". " In all seriousness, we're getting more RAM and moving to a faster connection in the next week or so- hang in there. And stop emailing me already. It's very disheartening to delete 50 of these things each morning :)
