From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That was a bit sarcastic, but my Linux servers are indeed disconnected. I'd create my personal mirror (preferably on BSD and update from there). Now that the cat is out of the bag though, I feel stupid. Really, for CUPS??? Are you kidding me???
