Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD
cperciva writes "Many systems around the world have been possessed by penguins and dead rats. It would be nice to exorcize these evil spirits, but this can be difficult without physical access to the machines in question.
Thanks to a new depenguinator, it is now possible to upgrade Linux systems to run FreeBSD 5.x without requiring anything more than an SSH connection." Clever idea.
The next root kit is announced and within days all machines have been *upgraded* to BSD. Argh
and watch this flame war. Marshmallows anyone?
If you can read this sig - the bitch fell off.
.. a worm to upgrade all windows boxes to linux remotely :D
Could be worse, we could be talking about a package to upgrade Linux to Windows 2003.

I give it a couple days, at most, before someone does the same thing to install Linux. ...and since THAT one would remove the little red "demons".....
Oooooh! Fire! Pretty!
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
Found next to the Bat Anti-Shark pills in Batman's utility belt, maybe? Still no reaction to the news from Mr Flibble, though

The dead are going after the living!
PHTHBBBBBTTTTT!!!!!
How do you moderate an entire article as flamebait?
May be you can write a program to flamebaitrate the article. Nobody said only people who freebsduse can verbgenerate, rite ?

You are upside-down - up has become down and down is up. Please turn yourself over.
I myself have upgraded twice, first from Win2000 Server to Red Hat 8 and then to Gentoo.
Money for nothing, pix for free
Dead Rat? OMG! I get it! It's like you took "Red Hat" and changed some letters around, and now it's like insulting!
That's what makes it funny!!!!111
Was the doc two years old before after you started installing Gentoo ;)
Just kidding, love the stuff.
Wow. The IT industry really is in a slump. I can remember the days when Slashdot readers could afford more than one chestnut between them...
++ Say to Elrond "Hello.".
Elrond says "No.". Elrond gives you some lunch.
Linux is viral (due the the GPL) you're the worm! ;)
Not as useful as a defenestrator.

Apparently the software was not designed to be used by the majority of the Linux community.

Reverse defenestration, throwing windows out of your computer. Where do I download? (Props to Eric for definition).
ps -waux
instead of
ps -ef
I don't get it. ps -waux works fine on my Debian GNU/Linux box. So does ps -ef. On the other hand, my braindead OpenBSD box doesn't support ps -ef and I assume FreeBSD probably doesn't either since you're all a bunch of flaming BSD zealots and won't accept the superiority of System V. For god's sake you probably haven't even adopted System V runlevels and /etc/init.d script directory structures. Savages.
Well, it's not quite what you're looking for, but I have written a shell script to remove all offending SCO IP from Linux based on the evidence presented so far:
I hope everyone finds this helpful.
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
The worst example I ever saw was on IRC; a jackass said "yeah, if you're stupid you should use Linux, but once you really understand UNIX you should use BSD".
Hey! I said that!
The same people who just reinstalled Windows 98.
There is already software similar to this. Its called Cygwin.
I actually thought I was being funny and expected to be moderated that way. :-)
But moderating me and especially that post 'Insightful' takes the cake. I give up.
And thus hereby offically anounce: Credit for the biggest 'Funny' goes to Mr. '+1 Insightfull' modder.
