Not that I care about BSD at all.. but..


Subject: Theo De Raadt
 To: None
 From: Adam Glass
 List: netbsd-users
 Date: 12/23/1994 11:26:09
On December 20, Theo de Raadt was asked to resign from the NetBSD
Project by the remaining members of 'core'.  This was a very difficult
decision to make, and resulted from Theo's long history of rudeness
towards and abuse of users and developers of NetBSD.  We believe that
there is no place for that type of behaviour from representatives
of the NetBSD Project, and that, overall, it has been damaging to the
project.

This decision was difficult to make because Theo has a long history of
positive contributions to the project.  He was the principal caretaker
of NetBSD's SPARC support, and has written too much code to mention.
We are certainly willing to accept (and would very much like to see)
future contributions from Theo, but we believe that it is
inappropriate for him to be an "official" representative of the
project any longer.

Please direct replies to core@NetBSD.ORG.

later,
Adam Glass

>The fact that Theo is a bit "egocentric" and "rude" doesn't imply that he isn't good at his job: programming and creating operating systems. This is even confirmed in that netbsd's mail.

I haven't said so.


>BTW, badmouthing a very well known and competent person like Theo is a very very bad way of defending Genesi/Pegasos. The next time you and your fellowship play this fair game with Theo and other very brave non amiga-people, I'll point this thread to their attention.

Lets see... his points one by one

"Nothing really works, it is all about 4 years from ever going anywhere, they are essentially bankrupt, the machine architecture is more closed than the PC architecture -- the machines are SLOW and will be expensive"

If nothing works, how I was able to use Pegasos1 for a year or so, and now Pegasos2, both as my mainmachines.
About bankcrupsy.. wonder on what he bases this information of his.
Plus, I don't find 1ghz Pegasos2 either slow, or expensive.

"I suspect the North American wing of this is an investment scam operating; since it owns nothing, and it appears some European outfit owns all the hardware."

Could be. Would like to see some documents or proof of this though.

"In any case, I am quite confident that there are almost NO WORKING machines in existance -- and we've got some mail that makes that clear."

Here he is just lying and making an ass of himself.

"Apparently there are only a handful of working G4 cpus in
North America..."

Again more BS. Unless he is talking about G4 for Pegasos1, that is.


Whats left of his post? Pretty much nothing. I'm sure he is a competent coder, but a lot of of things doesnt match on his post. Credibility is down to zero unless he backs up some of his claims.

I read it long time ago. How does this change anything?

Is Genesi now more fraudcompany?
Is Genesi now more ready to file bankcrupsy?
Are there now even less working G4's?
Are there now even less working Pegasos-machines?


All I need is some backing for his claims, thats all. And calling me a blue troll will only make me more red ;-)

If he says so, it must be so.
