Free Geek Robbed
Ellen Wilson writes, "Portland, Oregon, non-profit Free Geek, which turns old PCs into Linux boxen, has been robbed of about $4500 worth of hardware. Portlanders are asked to keep an eye out for suspicious sales of Ubuntu laptops." This blog post has some details of labeling that could help to spot the stolen laptops. BoingBoing picked up the story and added that another local outfit, the Independent Publishing Resource Center, which supports Portland's zine scene, had been hit on the previous night.
"Boxen" is not a word.
What the fuck is this shit? Who the fuck says boxen? FF2 marks it as a misspelling. Seriously WTF? What the hell is with you linux dorks saying boxen when you refer to linux BOXES?
It's a perfectly cromulent word.
But *I* use Ubuntu on my laptop, you insensitive clod!
