Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-creapy dept.

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.

      I think we finally have proof that BSD is dead. I mean, this is the clearest attempt at daemonic possession I have ever seen.
