Ron - I don't own this server. I own a hard drive in it, one of three, but Michael George gave NYLXS this server and you have an equal share of it and I administer it, in theory at least, under the supervion of the NYLXS board. > But I can't do it > if someone else can't take that source and host his branch for a > proprietary OS on another server.

What tools do you want. We have SSH, C++, Mono, CVS, Apache, PHP, Perl, Python, EMACS, VIM, personal webspace, C, ADA, Small Talk, IRC clients, open access for members, mail, about 60Gigs of hard drive space, mailing lists, Ruby, video hardware, audio hardware, GTK, Wings, QT widget sets, DOCBOOK, TCL, TK, Java, EMBPERL, MODPERL, a 300 book library, a 1.1 mb broadband connection, 4 unused monitors, a dozen ISO's on the server, vidoes, audio resources, 30 gigs of documentaion, just about anything your heart can delight in. We can organize and control the invasion of a medium sized country with NYLXS resources.
