How on earth can this be "news"? We have been able to do this for years.

Please tell me I am missing something...

Worst news article ever...

IOL article was written today. Linuxwelt where they got their source from was in May or June, whatever dating system they use.

But the magazine LinuxWelt (issue 5/6/13)

I expect it from IOL but from a German mag called LinuxWelt? :wtf:

Nothing but if it's been available from 2004 as ponder noted then it's strange for a mag called Linux World to only report on it now.
