Sorry for the lack of updates: I'm overwhelmed with work, Slackintosh porting (Adrian is enjoying some vacation over in japan and I'm slowly integrating stuff all alone as you can see from the changelogs) and the rest of the real life.
Anyway, here's the good new: I'll be at e-privacy 2008 talking (again!) about Tor on behalf of LUG Piacenza, all this olympic stuff just comes down at the right moment for the talk :-P
And here's the bad one: I'm deadly late for the slides deadline =_=
I've also started taking lessons for contract bridge at one of our bridge circles, I can say I'm really enjoying this game so far (no serious game too, however) and yesterday I finished 10th at the Shadowmoor Magic prerelease tournament, just at the end of the prize zone. Cards are flipping out nicely lately :D

And last, but not least, my girlfriend just gave me a Mozilla Thunderbird pin: I'm the geekiest Mozilla fanboy out there now, thanks Ce! <3

WHOIS(1) Debian GNU/Linux WHOIS(1)
ok, this is gross. especially when read on a Slackware 12.0 ;-)

are you surprised?

don't be upset, most of Linux distributions run Marco D'Itri version of whois which has been mainly built on Debian, so the whois.1 man page reflect this.
Ok, Debian's own orig.tar.gz and diff.gz exist on purpose but sometimes developers are just too proud of their own choices about distibutions holy war :D

By the way, even Slackware "bin" package contains some Debian love: this package mainly consist of debianutils and some other programs like fbset, banners and todos/fromdos (and many many more in 11.0, before 12.0 splits). In this case we've a significant difference, though. The run-parts Debian c program has been swapped out in favor of a faster bash script written by Volkerding himself, which I modify for Slackintosh in order to allow the --run-parts option, required for pbbuttonsd daemon.

And here's my interview :)
English translations will be posted tomorrow.

Storie di Apple interviewed us some months ago. They're publishing today the interview to Adrian, tomorrow will be my turn and wednesday there'll be complete english translations.

The Instituto Superior Técnico of Universidade Técnica de Lisboa has mirrored us.
It's a pretty damn fast mirror, enjoy!
(not to mention their slackware love, have you seen the machine name? ;-) )

The EFIKA board successfully boots slackintosh, joy!
EDIT: instructions here, thanks a lot Ben Hjelt!
