2:05 E.T. April 1st

It's 2:05 eastern time on April 1st but we haven't received any mail
resignation announcement from Linus; nor anyone who try to spoof him.
Is this a joke??

The April Fool's joke is Red Hat Network attempting to keep up with the
DDoS attack they brought on themselves by releasing the ISOs for RH 9 a
week early to RHN subscribers. :) Although I did hear a rumor that
Saddam Hussein got a copy :). Curiously enough, in the long list of
countries you can't ship RH 9 to, Iraq is conspicuously absent.

Have You Hugged Your Saguaro Today?

I really get this joke!
I was have been trying to download it myself and got several lost
connections. I bet everyone was like me, and once the connection is lost
they would try again and again, increasing the DDoS, and producing even
more lost connections.

I though that was kinda funny.

The BitTorrent (ad-hoc P2P) distribution is working well.  My copy
finished late last night; average rate was around 40 kByte/s.

Well if it makes you feel better I can reopen apfbiolenctonics and restart
the Linux pacemaker project from 2 years ago.
