Could you explain to me (either here or corbet@lwn.net) what "I can never load LWN stories" means? Needless to say, we're not pleased with the idea that somebody is having trouble reading our stuff and would like to fix the problem. But t

FWIW I (as the editor of LWN and the author of the article) do not mind the posting of this link. It has brought in 16,000 people (at last count), many of whom are probably unfamiliar with LWN. Some subscriptions have been sold in the pro

LWN kernel index at https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/ Yes, the LWN site needs a lot of work. It's just hard to take the time to do that at the expense of the content itself, but some things are in the works...slowly...

The author thinks that SELinux is a distribution - it's not, it's a technology that can be enabled by any distribution. That pretty much blows the credibility of the whole thing as far as I'm concerned.

FWIW, it's really worth reading the report itself; the Economist article focused on the lack of miracles and not much else.
