Not only is i-everything getting old, but this is non-Free software. There is a freebeer download, and the business edition costs $500. I'll take a dozen. |

Quoting:is i-everything getting old We - users of free software - are way past the i. i is a fossile. After it came J, like in Jboss, but that's old now too. Thereafter came the K, like in Kwrite, Kdevelop and Kwint, but even KDE admits the K-hype is considered not professional today, so we're done with that. After the K came the L, like in Linux, and after the L came M from Minix, which is older than Linux, so you understand how old Linux really is. Then came N from NetBSD, chronologically followed by O from OpenBSD, but that's as old as stemming from 1994 - a dino. After the O came the P from LAMP, which could mean anything as long as it's Perl, Python or PHP. Perl already was antique, and Python and PHP have been stable for lóóng time, not anything shocking here. After P comes Q. I thought Q might be the newest and shiniest - and 2008 would be the year of Q. However, Q is the free software emulator of Mac OS X I found out, and it's also the name of Gentoo's command to query portage. If you followed James Bond and Gentoo Foundation news, you might know both of them are pretty dead either, though Q in James Bond lived twice, unlike Ian Flemmings 11th James Bond novell claims, but who believes a novell anyway? PHP is superseded by Ruby, which is where the R comes from. IBM's system R is even from 1970, I read. By the way, Q from James Bord is also superseded by R. So we're done with R it seems. After R comes S. S stands for sExy, sEductive, sUperb, sOnic, sOmethingbetter, sEnsation, sHiny and sOunds&sMellsLike2008. So my prediction is S will definitely be it for 2008! Forget about the iPod, iMacro's iDocs and other iMperfect iNpopular crap. 2008 will be the year of the sPlayer (no, it's not 's' combined with the Mplayer you naughty one!), ssLinux (my new Windows distro with FreeBSD kernel! It means "ssLinux snot Linux' inadequate nuxified ultracrappy experience"), sUkSilla, sIimpleBSD (for "human beings' like you and me), SOSweekly.com, sEeTheFsckin'Manual - sFLinux (See me Feel me Linux, the first Linux which is aware of the mood of the user and displays Fortune's accordingly) and probably there sMany more. |

Wow....that was...um...analytical... /me thinks hkwint has too much spare brainpower |

you forgot iTrash ... much like eTrash but so proprietary that they had to rename all the iLemming waste. |

Hehe, iTrash, the 'proprietary dustbin'. A great metaphor! iMacro > /dev/iTrash Peter Volkerding must have envisioned 2008 'the year of s' when developing his distro which 'lacks' auto dependency resolving, and therefore he named it 'sLackware'. |

Really sorry, sPatrick it is! Not to be confused with "sPenguinonsPeed" - the one who is actually called sPeter (or sPetr). |
