    Linclips also has a short screencast on some of the default functionality.

    That screencast is in Flash, and we all know that Flash is evil.

    Thus, Fedora must be evil by extension.

    Fedora is the development branch for RedHat. If Fedora is evil, RedHat must also be evil.

    Microsoft is well known for being evil.

    We all know that RedHat is a competitor to Microsoft.

    Ergo, RedHat is the next Microsoft.

    QED

  2. Screenshots? by Orestesx · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't believe there is any power way to evaluate a linux distro than screenshots, except for maybe it's logo.

      the name has to sound cool, uncool names are out. Like Gentoo and Slackware: pfft, gay! Ubuntu and SuSE, those just radiate coolness. Though I also agree with logos, if the packaged set includes stickers.

      Version numbers. Don't forget the version numbers.

      If it's not high enough, then it's not even worth booting.

    Now look at them desktops, that's the way to do it

    You get your DCOP from your KDE

    That ain't working, that's the way to code it

    Widgets for nothing and your glyphs for free.


    Bow that ain't working, that's the way to code it

    Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb

    Maybe get a glitch in your brand-new icon

    Maybe get a glitchy core-dump.


    We gotta install ISO 9000

    Custom language packs

    We gotta move those partition boundries

    We gotta move that Berlin GUI

    Yeah. You can always say that you downloaded 3.3GB off stuff from playboy.com today, and didn't have to pay a dime.
