+        <b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b> 
+
+        <p>Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox
+        users, we have been able to purchase busybox.net
+        (which is where you are probably reading this).
+        Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both
+        living on my home system (at the end of my DSL
+        line). I apologize for the abrupt move off of
+        busybox.lineo.com. Unfortunately, I no longer have
+        the access needed to keep that system updated (for
+        example, you might notice the daily snapshots there
+        stopped some time ago).</p>
+
+        <p>Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home
+        server, at the end of a DSL line. Unfortunately,
+        the load on them is quite heavy. To address this,
+        I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net
+        co-located directly at an ISP. To assist in the
+        co-location effort, <a href=
+        "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a>
+        (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated
+        his <a href=
+        "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer
+        for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this
+        system is co-located, the current speed problems
+        should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, too,
+        some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror
+        sites, to help to distribute the load a bit.</p>

+         Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox
+        donations, let me assure you that no one is getting
+        rich here. All BusyBox and uClibc donations will be
+        spent paying for bandwidth and needed hardware
+        upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently
+        has just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when
+        google spidered the site the other day, 64 Megs in
+        not enough, so I'm going to be ordering 256Megs of
+        ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So
+        far, donations received have been sufficient to
+        cover almost all expenses. In the future, we may
+        have co-location fees to worry about, but for now
+        we are ok. A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to
+        everyone that has contributed!<br>

+        <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b> 
+
+        <p>We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox
+        0.60.2 (stable) is now released to the world. This
+        one is primarily a bugfix release for the stable
+        series, and it should take care of most everyone's
+        needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have
+        been working on in CVS ready to release (with the
+        wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in
+        this release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh
+        (the minix shell) has been re-worked by Vladimir N.
+        Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when
+        told to do complex things with backticks.</p>
+
+        <p>This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and
+        powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so it
+        should work with just about any Linux system you
+        throw it at. See the <a href=
+        "downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for <small>most
+        of</small> the details. The last release was
+        <em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should
+        be even better.</p>
+
+        <p>As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from
+        <a href=
+        "downloads">http://www.busybox.net/downloads</a>.</p>
+
+        <p>Have Fun.<br>
