[User-mode-linux-devel] The public launch

[Jeff D. <jd...@ka...>]

I sent announcements to slashdot, lwn, and linuxtoday, as well as putting one 
on freshmeat.  Only slashdot has yet to run it.

Looking at the "reads" numbers on the stories on linuxtoday, it was sort of in 
the middle of the pack wrt its neighbors.

The freshmeat announcment (http://freshmeat.net/news/1999/12/20/945707666.html)
 generated 522 click-throughs to the home page and 65 to the download site.  
There's also an interesting comment there.  I think it's serious, but I'm not 
sure.

I don't get logs on the current site (mv.com), but I can judge the level of 
activity with 'ls -ult' (which shows last access times) on the html files, and 
it's been 'right now' all day.

So, I'd say it's been fairly successful.  Too bad about slashdot, though.
