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.)"

    I submitted a story days ago about how a study from the American Association of Pediatrians linked television to A.D.D., CNN and the other networks even picked it up... would have made a great story here. But no... let's install Linux in a mythical dead badger... That's not funny. It's not even pathetic. How about the ./ editors submit a story on the drugs they're taking when they review submissions?

    I saw the actual thread on the body building website a couple weeks ago. Amazing how quickly these things spread.
