Chroot Jails Made Easy
GonzoJohn writes "There are always difficult jobs to do as a GNU/Linux system administrator. Sometimes the difficulty lies in finding out how to do a particular job, not necessarily the job itself. This can be particularly true in the open source world where documentation can often take a back seat to implementation. But once in a while, you can stumble on a real gem that simplifies even the most difficult administration tasks. One such gem is the Jail Chroot Project. Linux Orbit introduces you to creating chroot-ed environments in this article."
Superfan is nobody's fool
My Turn
By Nick Rymer
October 11, 2002
So, Trey Brannon, I want to congratulate you on your cartoon from Wednesday. Without using my name, you got my likeness down and pinned me for what I am: "a fool."
You better go spread your word, because there are lots of people out there who do not think the same way you do.
I have been on the cover of your paper three or four times - you can go back and check; the first time was in September 1998. Make sure to call the papers in Birmingham and all around the Southeast; I have been covers for their papers, too. Call al.com and tell them the ad they run every year has a fool in it. Call the people at ESPN, CBS and JP Sports and tell them I am a fool!
Why don't you follow me around town before a home game and tell the families who have their picture taken with me that I am a fool? Tell the people who come up and tell me how much they like me or the people who ask me, "Do you remember me? I had my picture made with you at the [fill in name of game here]."
Tell the person who got my jersey for me, the family who gave me my cape, all the people who want me to do free advertisements for them, and the Tide Pride people that the guy they know as "Superfan" is nothing more than a fool.
Where do you get these crazy notions? Do you really want to paint your face or your chest - you know, do something that may be fun and risk exposing yourself to people - and simply lack the courage?
Maybe you feel safer passing judgment on people using a pencil and making pretty little drawings without having to show your own face? A fool, am I? Well, at least this fool has guts.
Of course, the guy you drew was probably not even me. Sunglasses, a cape, earrings and a giant mohawk - it must be some other guy, right? Here's some advice: the next time you try to draw me, just let me know. I'll model so you can get the outfit right.
Seriously, come hang out before the Ole Miss game, and you will see who the fool is. I guarantee it will not be me. Roll Tide!

cute-teen-natalie is walking through the yard, carrying her school-books. teen-osm and six-year-old-osm are playing catch with a football. 6-year-old-osm misses the ball and it heads for cute-teen-natalie.
teen-osm: cute-teen-natalie, look out!
it is too late, the ball hits cute-teen-natalie in the head, knocking her hair loose, such that it flows elegantly down her back. she begins to weep and runs inside, the boys follow.
cute-teen-natalie: mom! mom! oh, this is awful!
hemos: what is it dear?
cute-teen-natalie: the football hit me on the side of the head. it knocked my hair loose so that it flows elegantly down my back! i am now even more beautiful! this is awful!
female-signal 11 and male-signal 11 enter the kitchen.
female-signal 11: mom!
hemos: what is it, signal 11?
male-signal 11: we are tired of being the middle child! we are tired of having to play with ourself in the basement!
hemos: signal 11, i told you not to play with yourself! that is why you are in the basement in the first place! six-year-old-natalie, come in here!
six-year-old-natalie joins the others in the kitchen.
six-year-old-natalie: yes, mother?
hemos: now, you, six-year-old-osm, cute-teen-natalie and teen-osm have been very mean to signal 11. i want you and six-year-old-osm to go to your room until supper. the same goes for cute-teen-natalie and teen-osm.
six-year-old-natalie: oh, six-year-old-osm, finally we may explore each other in our childlike innocence! how my undeveloped breasts and unfattened buttocks have yearned for your boyish hand!
six-year-old-osm: hooray!
the six-year-olds hold hands as they skip off to their room.
cute-teen-natalie: teen-osm! we may finally consumate our teen curiosities! how my pouting teen breasts tingle under my bodice! how my rump quivers in anticipation!
teen-osm: by my open-source hand shall you take the next step to womanhood!
cute-teen-natalie & teen-osm: hooray!
teen-osm throws cute-teen-natalie over his shoulder and carries her to their room.
male & female signal 11 turn to leave through the patio door.
hemos: where are you going signal 11?
male-signal 11: nobody appreciates us here. we are going to run away and gain feelings of acceptance by bribing slashdot moderators with cheap crack to give us karma.
hemos: hooray!
cmdrtaco enters the front door, carrying a brief-case.
cmdrtaco: hi, honey! i'm home!
hemos: oh, cmdrtaco! let us retire to the bedroom and frolick like the playful imps we are! all day, i have been dreaming of commanding your taco into my throbbing rectum.
as hemos and cmdrtaco walk to the bedroom holding hands, rms enters the kitchen. he removes several pans filled with meat from the oven.
rms: hey! doesn't anyone want a piece of this gnu?! well, i guess i'll have to eat it myself. shoot, just when i was trying to lose some weight.
laugh track, applause.
