Have the editors not learned from all the times they've done this and screwed up in the past?

You're ID 202812 yet you speak like it's your first time here :-)
Best slashdot ever by Anonymous Coward · 2005-06-13 04:17 · Score: 5, Funny

Torrent download rate before slashdot posted the story: 10 KB/s

After slashdotting: 145 KB/s (flirting with my max bandwidth)

>>10 times easier than windows XP?
>>I think Windows XP installer asks for a grand total for 3 inputs. Computer Name, User Name, and Time Zone.

No, really. Fedora only asks for three-tenths of a prompt for input.
Will it run on WindowsXP Professional or Longhorn? by Anonymous Coward · 2005-06-13 05:36 · Score: 3, Funny

I am new to the whole "computers" scene, and I am wondering if this "Redhat Fedora Core Linux 4" will run on my windows. I am running windows 98. Will I have to upgrade to windows XP if I want to use "Redhat Fedora Core Linux 4"? Or will I have to wait for microsoft longhorn before I can run it on my computer. Also, does it work with my flat screen monitor?
