    Hi, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me get my Redhat installation up and running; your suggestions were right on the money, as always. Slashdotters Rule! ;o)

    Anyways, I've noticed something recently after having used Linux now for about a month; I have this overwhelming desire to hang out with fags, do faggotly things, stick foreign objects in my anus, etc. Is this normal? I woulnd't be asking about this if it weren't for the fact that my rectal bleeding is getting bad and my dog is scared of me now.

    Could the video be any less clear than that? Sounds like a set-up, kinda reminds me of these two guys walking on the moon.
