I guess he got it, as usual, from one of the uhm less managed mirrors.
Has happened almost every time now with a new (test) release. Imagine
the discussion going back and forth soon on #fedora :)
Some Dude: Hey I just got FC5T2 and it rocks! :)
Other Dude: Wot you got FC5T2 already?! Where did you get it
99999 Other Dudes: Yeah, where did you get it?
Fedora Dude: Some Dude: if you paste a link here I will make sure
you go to Hell and have to use Microsoft till the end
of time
Some Dude: Uhm, ok, I'm not telling. But it rocks!
99999 Other Dudes: Please, please, please, please tell us where you got
Some Dude: Eastern-European mirrors rock :)
Fedora Dude: Fedora Dude has kicked Some Dude of #fedora
Fedora Dude: It's not out officially so everybody stay calm
Many Other Dudes: Found it :)
Fedora Dude: Many Other Dudes: if you paste a link here I will
make sure you go to Hell and have to kiss Bill's
pinkish parts till the end of time
Some Bold Dude: http://www.tinyurl.ca/edDSrs98
More dudes: Thank you so much Some Bold Dude
Fedora Dude: Fedora Dude has kicked Some Bold Dude of #fedora
Fedora Dude: It's not out officially so everybody stay calm
Many Dudes Fedora Dude: but if it is already out there, why not
release it?
Fedora Dude: Because FC5T2 is scheduled for official release at
10:00 AM <insert some wildly unknown timezone
abreviation most of the world doesn't understand>
Too Many Dudes: 10:00 AM <insert weird timezone>?! When the hell is
that?!
Fedora Dude: sigh, www.timeanddate.com
Many Other Dudes: Fedora Dude: you mean that I have to wait another
12 hours because you insist on your own timezone?!
10:00 AM is 10:00 AM and it is 10:00 AM here so start
serving the goodies :)
Meanwhile bandwidth saturation of the 2x E1 backbone to Eastern-Europe
skyrockets and the less well funded Eastern-European NSA in Fort Meadski
get their work cut out for the next 60 years checking ethereal traces on
thousands of refurbished 4.5Gb SCSI-2 disks trying to figure out what
the hell was going on and why their pr0n downloads suddenly halted.
Fedora Dude: Everybody stay calm. It will be released shortly
Another Bold Dude: <whisper>.tw lalalalala .tw lalalalala</whisper>
More Dudes: Thanks Another Bold Dude. Nice fast mirror :)
Fedora Dude: Fedora Dude has kicked Another Bold Dude of #fedora
Late Dude has joined #fedora
Late Dude: Hi all, the bittorrent download of FC5T2 at <url>
is really fast. Great work!
Many More Dudes: Thanks Late Dude :)
Fedora Dude: sigh
Fedora Dude: Fedora Dude has kicked Late Dude of #fedora
Meanwhile back at FC HQ the inevitable "we're loosing the battle again"
discussion has already started. <snip a lot of talk about standing firm
and not giving in because several roque mirror admins have no clue about
timezones>
Fedora Lead Dude: Ok, since this release is available from several
sites and is already up on Bittorrent I guess we
really should open the floodgates
Other Fedora Dude: I will have a firm talk with those pesky mirror
admins!
Fedora Lead Dude: Yes, give them a firm rattling like last time and
the one before and... sigh... never mind
And so the floodgates were opened and the community rejoiced.
Regards,
Patrick
ps. FC5T2 was a pleasure to install :)
