Not getting this here...is that a separate site that mirrors CP? Or is that Chris' other domain?:confused:

There was a movement a while back to create a CP-like site for *nix. Chris and Dave effectively quashed it (not necessarily a bad thing, and not purposely, I don't think) by grabbing the reigns and ownership of the site, turning the would-be charter members into plain old editors. That's not to say that any of us really followed through on the plans to start it up. I know that I was busy at the time finishing up my college career, and I'm sure the others were just as busy. Since then, I have found bigger fish to fry. Someone motivated enough could pick up where we left off and get everything going again. I do have to say, however, that not having access to the framework of the site kind of deflated my sails of enthusiasm for the project. AFAIK, we couldn't have used UnixProject.com anyway because of trademark/copyright issues. Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

I really hope that it does get started up, I program more often in Unix than I do in Windows. A Unix site like CP would rock (but not as much as CP:-D). Brad Jennings My latest nickname: Kidney Stone (Nickname courtesy of my roommates)

I don't have the IP address anymore, but I don't think the site has been active for quite some time. Maybe if some people spark enough interest, Chris and Dave will start it up again. Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

Jon Sagara wrote: Chris and Dave effectively quashed it Oh, it's still very much on the todo list, honest. It wasn't our intention to quash it, there was just an overwhelming flood of things to do, and we didn't want to do a site like unixproject.com with less than the appropriate amount of effort and resources. The trademark issue surrounding the Unix name was a bit of stumbling block for sure, but we'd like to regroup and give the site a go in 2003. David

Totally understandable. Like I said, I was too busy at the time, too. :) Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

:-D I've always been interested in coding a small daemon for my Linux box downstairs, but never got round to it. In fact, I wanted to get a daemon that would create users, and then code a small .NET assembly to then access it via. TCP/IP.

Hey Nish, Are you waiting for the reality to sink in before you change your CP Member Profile Location? :)
