Treaty of Helsinki Signed



HELSINKI, FINLAND -- A cease-fire in the flame war between Linux and

FreeBSD has been reached. A group of two dozen Linux and FreeBSD zealots

met in Helsinki to ratify a treaty bringing a temporary end to the hostile

fighting between both camps. "Today is a good day for peace," one observer

noted. "Now both sides can lay down their keyboards and quit flaming the

opposing side on Usenet and Slashdot."



The cease-fire is a response to the sudden increase in fighting that has

occured over the past two weeks. The Slashdot server became a victim of

the cross-fire this week when thousands of Anonymous Cowards and Geek

Zealots posted inflammatory comments that amounted to, "My OS is better

than your OS!" Many nerds, suffering withdrawl symptoms when the Slashdot

site slowed to a crawl, demanded that the bickering stop.



"I can't take it anymore! It takes two minutes to download the Slashdot

homepage -- assuming the site is actually online. I must have my 'News for

Nerds' now! The fighting must stop," one Anonymous Coward ranted.
