Medicine for a Sick Linux Box

Posted by michael on from the two-helpings-of-prozac-please dept.

Squidgee writes "This is the site for "LIAP: Linux In A Pillbox". It is an interesting recovery distro made in the vein of pharmaceuticals; each floppy based 'minidistro' cures one specific Linux ailment. Or, as Luke Komasta (The creator of LIAP) puts it: "My Linux project contains "pills". Each of them is good for one disease, but it doesn't work good enough for another. When you know what you need a Linux for, you may choose a good pill. And of course, as you know, there is no drug which is good for treating all diseases." It's an extremely interesting approach to Linux recovery, and one that appears to be more effective than the other varieties of floppy/mini-cd based recovery systems. Worth downloading in case you ever need it!"

    What pill to you use to get rid of an AC trying to single-handedly bring down /. by posting a poem?

    I know, I've got my own pill. It's called the "Stab them in the face with a knife...until THEY DIE!!!" pill.

    Some call it "alternative medicine."
