  1. soekris PXE boot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    okay this is a little obscure but is anyone having problems with pxeboot and Soekris 4501 boards? I can only get the little guy to boot with 4.8-RELEASE, everything after including 4.9-PRE is not working for me. I've compiled it with the right flags and everything.

    2. If *BSD had a built in vibrator your grandma couldn't use that, either.

    3. The GUI comes with the desktop and with the various applications. Are you down on the engine of your automobile because it has no pretty paint job or a comfortable place to sit?

    4. Do you even take enough responsibility in your life to put on your underwear with the tags in the back?

    5. Lifesavers also come in various colors; what is your problem with such difficult concepts as that?

    6. You're an incredibly proud person for being such a bad liar and idiot.

    7. I have to wonder if you know what compiling is.

    8. Such as? (Please state only the state of the art hardware that you have, please, assuming that you have any.)

    9. What part of binary Linux compatibility do you not understand? Which part of the X Window System is compatible with GNU/Linux but is not compatible with *BSD? Use the space at the end of this line to answer, even if it's way more space than you need.

    10. Except for your brain, which you have already largely shut down, your body is already dying at a much faster rate than *BSD is.
