Step 1: install 37 operating operating systems on one machine Step 2: mount everything possible in linux (not sure about partition types, inconsequential detail though), cat it all to/dev/audio.

I couldn't sit still that long. Sure, some OS installations are more time-consuming than others, but in general I don't look forward to the interminable wait between prompts.
I'd also be curious to know how many reboots it took. I also want to know how come nobody cared enough to get William Shatner to go to this guy's house and say "What's wrong with you? Have you ever slept with a woman?".

From the article:
Were there any OSes you couldn't find?
Yes. Windows 1.0. Refer to the statement on Jupiter's 7th moon in previous answer. Oh, and I couldn't find an OS that would tell me how to successfully deal with girls either.
Am I the only person who finds this statement a bit incongruous coming from someone with the nick "Zen Mastuh"?;-)
