Installing Linux on a Dead Badger

Posted by michael on from the slightly-ahead-of-its-time dept.

Elysdir writes "An article by Lucy A. Snyder at the online speculative-fiction magazine Strange Horizons provides information on the next frontier in Linux installations. 'Let's face it: any script kiddie with a pair of pliers can put Red Hat on a Compaq, his mom's toaster, or even the family dog. But nothing earns you geek points like installing Linux on a dead badger.' (Disclosure, in case it matters: I'm an editor for the magazine.)"

    Wow, you're either a troll or an idiot. Some people can't afford Windows, so they install Linux. Seems pretty pointful to me.

    (For the record, I think the post was a joke, in which case, my subliminal insult is directed at the moron who modded the parent "Interesting" instead of "Funny")

    I usually don't even bother with Slashdot anymore unless the headline makes some fucking sense now.

    But this had to be commented on.

    Michael, I hope you have a review coming up and they fire your sorry ass.
