64-bit Linux On The Opteron

JigSaw writes "A few moths ago Robert Minvielle put to test AMD's Opteron regarding its 64-bit Linux compatibility. The results back then were not very positive but he is now back testing more 64-bit updated distros: Gentoo, SuSE, Mandrake, Red Hat and Fedora. And this time the results are more positive with Linux offering good Opteron support where Windows-64 doesn't seem to. FreeBSD also lists the AMD64 platform as a tier-1 architecture."

    GNAA Announces responsibility for kernel backdoor
    By Tim Copperfield
    Raleigh, NC - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was responsible for planting the "backdoor" inside the popular opensores operating system, Lunix (Stocks, Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative goat-see revealed that the mistery hacker who penetrated high-security defenses of the Lunix "source code" repository and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the kernel was indeed a full-time GNAA member.
    "This is serious," goat-see began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996. Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website, slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right into the Lunix kernel, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".
    Insertion of the GNAA backdoor came right between the consideration of Novell to buy out the entire Lunix Kernel programming team, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers working for Novell with the gay niggers developing Lunix kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting our next plans to add "backdoors" into the next favorite operating system, BeOS.

    The Linux as Phallus ::

    In an increasingly technological world, the male has a narrowing outlet for typical masculine activities. Social groupings arise to replace these necessary behavoirs. One need not look further than the chest-beating testosterone laden world of the Linux Community to see instinctual hunting behavoirs played out daily.
    Linux can be seen as a return to the primordal. An arcane OS that is largely inefficient yet terribly attractive to anyone with a small penis, looking to wield a large extension to their lacking sexual prowess. The Linux becomes a phallus, or an extension thereof, and stroking it ("hacking") is the means in which to control it. It is the sword in the stone; tugged by many seeking the fortune and glory of it's mastery.

    All night coding runs ::

    The hunt has long been the integral part of masculine society. It is a right of passage to manhood in many tribal societies and it's importance is paramount to ones social standings within a group. The best hunters are revered; much like the linux guru who shines in the "all night coding run" he organizes with his pack-mates Of course modern man hunts with an M16, but GNU Hippies are wll-known for their blatant inefficiency.

    Which of course leads one to the conclusion: GNU Hippies represent a de-evolution of man. It is urged to avoid these flute wielding primates at all costs.
