      And it's not just the OS itself ... I've heard from certain "sources" that the source code for the entire operating system can be downloaded from them evil BitTorrent programs!

    ...but will you do it at the top of a mountain? Check out the Extreme Ubuntu Install Challenge!

    "On October 2, 2005, two good friends and I hiked up Middle Sugarloaf Mountain in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire. But this wasn't your typical hike; this hike had extreme geek value. For at the top of the mountain, I was going to install Ubuntu Breezy on my laptop.

    To my knowledge, no one has ever accomplished such a feat in history. Probably, this is because no one would want to. I'd like to change that. Ubuntu geeks of the world, I challenge you - where can you install Ubuntu in an extreme environment? Has Ubuntu ever been installed on a skyscraper window-washing scaffold? On an active volcano? While standing on your head the whole time? Just think of the possibilities!

    When you have a laptop, a mission, and no sense of social shame, anything is possible. What follows is one man's story of hardship and triumph, as he scales a mountain to install Ubuntu linux..."

      and of course the great thing about doing that at the top of a mountain is nobody can say "man, that guy needs to get out more" ;-)

    It would be nice if editors could add a reason for rejecting posts

    Some popular reasons include:

    • Too many informative links.
      Most Slashdotters can only handle failing to read one article at a time, or two at most. Expecting them to fail to follow five or six links in one article would be unfair.
    • Too early.
      It's not fair to slashdot a site before other people have had a chance to read it. Therefore, articles referencing events that happened less than a week ago will typically be rejected. This is "news for nerds", not "news as it happens", guys.
    • Unfamiliar material.
      Slashdotters don't want to read about new things all the time; they enjoy revisiting old favourites, too, sometimes as often as three times a day. The Slashdot editorial policy is based around satisfying this need.


    ...you know, I wish I thought I was joking.
