<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[http://antiflux.org/~evan evan] provided the following explanation in July, 2004.<br /> <br /> The first use of antiflux.org would have been shortly after I moved into<br /> Thunderbird in June 1998. At that time, it was only used as an internal<br /> domain for a couple of machines that lived under my desk. Externally, I<br /> used antiflux.ml.org.<br /> <br /> Antiflux.org was first registered in January 1999, shortly after ml.org<br /> announced it would be ceasing operations. We acquired antiflux.ca,<br /> antiflux.net and antiflux.com over the next few years to achieve total<br /> TLD dominance.<br /> <br /> Antiflux.org lived in my three rooms in Thunderbird and the iHoF server<br /> closet before the Merger. The exact configuration varied, but usually<br /> there was a firewall machine (486-something), a userhost (my Sparc<br /> classic), a file server (Pentium-266?) and a couple of other random<br /> machines hooked up. Antiflux.org machines ran OpenBSD, FreeBSD, some<br /> flavour of Linux (Slackware, then Debian, I believe) and Solaris.<br /> <br /> antiflux.org and okcomputer.antiflux.org were separate machines until the<br /> official merger and move to Tera-Byte in December 2000.<br /> <br /> /etc/passwd doesn't give you a exact record of who the first users were,<br /> but it's pretty close. On antiflux.org, it would have been me, x,<br /> cspencer, scottbro, mark, brendare, steve and holmes, as well as some<br /> people with accounts on both machines like grant, tim, tedmunds, ben,<br /> erin, michal and possibly others.</div>
