This is just some joker dude that has a domain whiteboxlinux.net - but
that has nothing to do with whiteboxlinux.org - The official site - and
I can't believe that this is actually being discussed.

He is and has never been 'the man behind:whiteboxlinux' other than the
man that registered the .net variant of the whiteboxlinux.org because he
could exploit it. If he had any decency, he would donate the name to
John Morris.

Sometimes I can't believe how gullible people are.
