    Linux would reach the tops of the Netcraft uptime chart in no time!

    For values of 'no time' slightly greater than three years...

    I'm going to get -infinity for this but, OK.

    this is too much. crap like this, thrown in because it's "kewl", is why the real world doesn't take Linux seriously.

    I want LILO to load my OS, and no more. I can wait until I boot to play games and see the pretty colors.

    Most linux users still see the four letters LILO when booting the PC.

    Then again, most users only see the LILO screen once every blue moon.

    9:31am up 122 days, 22:40, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00


    Now, installing the graphical LILO to boot my windows box, now that's entertaining!
