[GEM Development] OpenGEM got slashdotted

[Shane M. Coughlan]

In a surprise move the other day, Slashdot posted a new snippet about
OpenGEM.  I'm not sure how much traffic this generated for FreeDOS
(which was linked from the news article), but it's certainly swamped my
site.

If you want to read the news article you can do so here:

There's some interesting comment centering around the use of FreeDOS,
the problems with graphical user interfaces, and a little bit of random
insulting of my ego.

Meanwhile, OpenGEM Release 4 has almost reached one thousand downloads
in the first two weeks of its release.  OpenGEM Complete has been
downloaded 627 times, OpenGEM Core has been downloaded 193 times, and
OpenGEM Experimental has been downloaded 154 times.
