-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There's the Richard we all know and love! That was just my way of saying I missed you! I'm happy to hear you're doing well. Thanks for the update. I'll be on the lookout for netserva. dave list admin wrote: | Dave thanks for the support - appreciated - talk is cheap - one | thing I've learnt and thats just the remit of the community - there | always will be someone who takes a shot. Luckily I'm big enough and | ugly enough to eat most for breakfast without breaking into a | sweat. | | Thanks but the reason I'm quiet people is I spend my life now | working with the suits (but I still rebel from the inside). I am | pretty maxed out working on the security needs of a few million of | my employers customers which sharpens and continually hones the | awareness radar. I still am involved in the community pushing | projects and also working with vendors on GPL'ing technology which | then funnily enough benefits you guys.... funny that. | | There is a reason why I recommend, sponsor and help promote M0n0 - | in fact there are 3 | | 1) Lawrence and I started the first drive towards webdriven | "appliances" built from GPL/BSD licenced code and thats started a | wealth of cool stuff, M0n0 deservedly - if it continues to grasp | features - should some point in the summer of 2005 grab SW's crown. | For the record I put at least a years salary which I never got back | into SW GPL and it was the gutsiest and best thing I ever did - | look at the good it did. | | 2) The author of M0n0 just happens to be an inspirational guy who | one day will realise he has an ability to make changes in the way | people adopt technology and make "change acceptance" simple. | | 3) Because I am committed to funding OpenSource and BSD projects - | which is why I sponsor to the tune of several thousand dollars a | quarter out my pocket at least eight projects out there in the | community. | | Regardless of comments (which are cheap by the way) I am proud of | having 6m+ firewalls out there with my name on it. It's certainly | nice when people say hi in the street and want to talk | Linux/OpenSource. It's given me a good living, a comfortable | retirement and the ability to help direct, focus and hone the use | of alternative technologies. | | Read more about M0n0 in an upcoming article in the UK's Computer | Shopper magazine this month. Due out in next few weeks. I'm also | working on new distro - netserva - can't say any more just that it | makes SW look crap. | | Best wishes | | Richard Morrell - dick at dickmorrell dot com / richard dot morrell at ntl dot com | | Co-Author and founder of SmoothWall, Award winning security | technologist and Linux afficionado.
