Distro Taste Test - Linux and Beer

Posted by michael on from the mad-max dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Those Aussies are mad!!! Linux is an international phenomenon, drawing in developers and users from all over the globe. This diversity is reflected in the enormous number of flavours (or distributions) it is available in. This cornucopia of names reminds me of nothing so much as the world of beer. I thought it would be entertaining to look for parallels between some notable distros and the beers of the world."

    Coopers for serious beer drinking

    Mate, you're not supposed to tell the foreigners about Coopers! They'll take it all. Now keep 'em distracted with talk of VB, New, XXXX, etc...

    PS. Tassie beers - Boag's and Cascade - aren't half bad and Hahn is okay too.
