Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD

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

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.

    "It also depends on your audience. Saying "Abortion is murder" at a pro-choice meeting might well be flamebait, but saying it at a pro-life meeting certainly is not."

    God, if slashdot is no different from the choice vs. life crowd, I'm outta here. Nothing to be gained from hanging around with a bunch of tunnel vision zealots.
