  1. Announcing: EMTALinux and DPPRFLinux by Laxitive · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since it seems to be all the rage nowadays, I too, am joining the fun.

    Within the coming month, we shall see the release of my latest creative efforts: EMTALinux and DPPRFLinux. Now, these aren't just two arbitrary linux distributions, with the usual selection of software from the medley merry-go-round of Linux installers, desktop environments, and package managers.

    No sir. These distributions serve a distinct purpose.

    EMTALinux is a linux distribution specially optimized for expatriate Moldavian trapeze artists, while DPPRFLinux services the woefully ignored dyslexic post-punk rock fan demographic.

    If you are an expatriate Moldavian trapeze artist, or a dyslexic post-punk rock fan.. these are exciting times for you! Do not despair, the linux community has not ignored you!

    Stay tuned for more information.
