I'm the original author of this project. It warms the heart to see that it helped so many fellow hackers to introduce themselves to Linux!

Recalling this, it makes me feel quite a old hack, when I started this back in December 2003, without Git, through mailing lists, and on sourceforge - oh boy. Would have definitely been easier maintaining this project with all the tech, the reach, and the amount of potential contributors that we have today.

Man, without you I don't think I would have survived in the corporate world. If it wasn't for the fact that I could install coLinux to turn my work XP in an actually functional OS, I don't know what I would have done.

Nothing (almost!) against Windows, but with experience steeped in Xenix, Solaris and Interactive... let's say that coLinux was also pretty effective as an anti depressant :D

Thanks. Used it quite a lot to do multiplatform development with C#/.NET
