Mad Penguin on Ubuntu 5.10 Preview
atrebuse wrote to mention a preview of the Ubuntu 5.10 Preview release, on Mad Penguin. From the article: " Every community has its heroes. From the beginning of time, we've all needed that special something to grasp onto and worship in one way or another. The Linux community is no different. Sure, there are a handful of people known as leaders or visionaries that people look up to, but what other altars do they worship at? The Altar of the Distro. That's the one I'm referring to. According to the DistroWatch page hit ranking sidebar, Ubuntu Linux has held the title of '"most worshiped distro' for quite some time now. So why is that? Is it because Ubuntu is just that good? Is it because the Ubuntu followers are just sitting there hitting their browsers refresh button on the DistroWatch Ubuntu page? What is it about Mary? "
Oh wait...
Please read the entire comment before moderating. Thanks.

[...] They really do enjoy making hair braids from Taco's pubes. Zonk put one around his phallus; it looked like the little crown of thorns Lord Baby Jesus wore. Good luck getting people to pick up Dapper Drake if it's ever to sit next to Microsoft Windows on the shelf. There's really a cold chance in hell a single unit will ever sell outside of geekdom. Just my two cents of course. Take it or leave it, but come one... gay duck? The only gay duck around here is Taco. (CowboyNeal is in actual fact a gay fuck.)
Last time I modded down a hidden troll post like this one my moderation got meta-modded down as "unfair".
Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.
What I love most is that although the troll article has been modded down to zero, the post that highlights the offensive text by removing all informative parts of the article gets modded up to four. Now everyone can read about Taco's pubes and Zonk's phallus. The trolls really have won this time.
Why does the Related Links area list Review Liunux Products when I can't seem to find the misspelling on the page? Was this an error fixed before posting?
Someone hates these cans.
2 vots for "troll". Who exactly am I trolling ? Two moderating hookers named Mary ?
Give me a break.

oh it's a throw back to the pope's decree (which originated in europe btw) that sex was sinful and the body evil. It's stupid yea. And we all know just how "sinful" Catholics really think sex is... good catholic school girls -- there's an oxymoron.
I'm from Uruguay, and I strongly disagree with lots of stuff about my government.
Nevertheless, I am aware of the fact that my responsibility in changing aspects of my government I don't like is crucial. We had a military dictatorship from 1973 to 1985, not much compared to the region, but bad enough, and I believe most people here are to blame for the atrocities the government commited, if only because they didn't care to do anything against it.
About a very bad economical situation my country is going through, I believe that peoples bad judgement is the cause, political leaders only do what they are capable of, it's our responsibility to choose the right ones. After all, people have the government they deserve.
