Download OpenBSD PD ksh for Linux

If for some reason you want to use OpenBSD ksh which is a modified version of pdksh (Public Domain ksh), then look no more. Somebody has taken the trouble to port the OpenBSD ksh to GNU/Linux.

So what’s the deal with the OpenBSD ksh? First, it is free being modified by the OpenBSD project people which really emphasis on software freedom. Secondly, OpenBSD people has cleaned the public-domain ksh and enhanced PD ksh with great features.

So if for some reason you need an improved open implementation of ksh, then try downloading from this website : http://www.delilinux.de/oksh/

06/06/06 – The year of the beast?

Is it really true that today is a special day where the date coincide with the number of the beast? (ie 06/06/06 = 666).

IMHO, if you see that date in your pc right now, then you’re pretty f*cked up, because you may be using a non-Y2k compliant software. Truncating the number to 2 digit is a damn bad practice :p
