The machine stops: IPV6 and the growth of the internet
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows too now relies on the net for downloading upgrades and
| security patches (stop laughing at the back of the class, Windows
| is a serious security matter) but GNU/Linux is a child of the
| internet and the very open nature of the operating system ensured
| that it would be a match made in Heaven.

| The internet is not an original, in the sense that it has been
| built upon a succession of other ideas and technologies but
| free, open source ideas have exploited the distributed nature
| of it to advance the technical and political goals of Linux
| users. The internet facilitates progress through distributed
| acceleration of fre software projects and indeed many ideas
| and facilities not connected to it.
