    It comes with lots of cool games.

    When I first gave Linux a try back 1998, I tried slackware. It came with a game called "X Server". If you won, you got to see pretty colors and stuff. If you lost, that's to say, if you set the refresh rate above what you monitor could take, you got a smoking monitor.

    It was almost as scary as FEAR.

      Some friends of mine smoked a monitor once, but I didn't inhale.

    You know that "Ubuntu" is Swahili for "too lazy to install Slackware" right ?
