Red Hat Enterprise 3 Beta Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the marooned-on-taroon dept.

viewstyle writes "eWEEK has got a review of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Beta, code named Taroon. It now has the new Red Hat Bluecurve interface. New important stuff includes: logical volume management and access control lists in the file system. The access control list feature is something that has been in Windows and Solaris for some time. If you're interested, you can download it here."

    Don't forget that you also need to purchase a System V binary runtime licence for each CPU.

    Well, this review has no screenshots at all for the Bluecurve or anything else! The review didn't also evanglize KDE over Gnome or vice versa!! Now that's rare Anyhow, We demand screenshots!

    Taroon.. Hmmm... Taroon.. Aha!!!11

    If you reverse Taroon you get "Noorat", Right?
    Okay, now... tihs is clearly ROT-14 encoded so decoding it you get "Zaadmf" uhuh? stay with me here... Now reversing that gives "Fmdaaz" Yes? Good...

    Now... md clearly stands for "Must Die" and F is clearing code for "SCO". (or "Fuckers" if you prefer) Finally I have also uncovered through unrevealed sources at Red Hat that "aaz" is special inhouse code for "(sponsored by IBM)."

    So Taroon is actually code for.....:

    "SCO must die! (sponsored by IBM)"

    DARL WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!11!!!11

    ...i'm not cray.. i'm not crazy... *sits in corner twitching*
