To me, it sounds like you want a fast, simple, streamlined way to install a Linux distro on older machines, and donate them to the 'unwashed masses' (read: people who don't know up from down with a Linux distro?)...
I pose a question: If you are donating these machines to people who (we'll assume, as per your statements) cannot readily install a free OS on their own, why do you expect that they'll have any more luck using the OS in a productive manner??
Man, there is nothing like a good firewall configuration on BSD... But I am thoroughly sick of all the DoS attacks going around. I would be much more satisfied should an attacker attempt at breaking into my server rather than causing immature server failures due to lack of destructive creativity...
Okay, at first glance this all seems a bit comical, but my word... seeing the 18 or so episodes at the bottom of the page, it's almost more amusing to think that someone spent all that time doing the whole damn movie.
Sort of makes a guy feel better about only wasting hours of his life, heheheh.
Some of us 'geeks', happen to not only enjoy their constant programming, but digital / conventional arts as well...
Some of us prefer to listen to the likes of The Birthday Party, Joy Division, and Teengenerate as opposed to Aaron Carter, Lil Bow-Wow and Sugar Ray....
Some of us prefer to think for ourselves rather than allow a corporation define who and what our 'generation' consists of.
Some of us are insulted abosolutely at the term "MTV Generation", and dislike the fellow members of this stereotype that persist in perpetuating its use and facade.
Some of us would rather not hear those of you out there who would stand in the face of individuality and shout the usefulness of conformity and ignorance into the masses.
And finally...
Some of us, speak truth::
"Hi
I?m your video DJ
I always talk like I?m wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
My job is to help destroy
What?s left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
So don?t create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll
How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill
You?ve turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing?s left to the imagination
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air
See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There?s something I don?t like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn?t care
M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
?It?s the new frontier,? they say
It?s wide open, anything can happen
But you?ve got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you?re too god-damn conservative
To take real chances
Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now
The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That?s the name of the game
But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
M.T.V.?Get off the air!
NOW"

I don't know where to begin other than stating that this article was pathetic, uninformative, and just plain lacking in any real facts other than Yahoo jibberish, and lame buzz-facts.....
Linux... a multi-player game huh???
more like Linux... the OS running the damn webserver your rediculous article is sitting on...
[edit]
oh wait.... jsp huh?? nevermind...... heheh

I am getting kind of tired of these 'Techies' talking about Linux... it's like Christians trying to talk about the ups and downs of Buddhism.... rediculous...
Not that I have much more information to add, other than I hope we can all chuckle a bit at this article, since we are on SlashDot (which I hope is still the alternative to uninformative, half-wit tech info)... Linux, yea... maybe we cannot run M$ Word... but we can code C like madmen, run entire web-servers, and crank out languages like PERL... to which I find no M$ equal..... so when was the last time M$ ported one of its lame-ass damn-near useless Programming Languages to a *nix box.??? I can't recall... but I'm sure we can all put the value of Perl and Apache on a pedestal unreachable by the likes of COM and ASP.... heheh... and even MySql makes M$-Access look like a joke, and that's pretty bad in and of itself...
Sorry for the incoherent ranting... I guess I'm trying to state that those of us who run the merry land of computing know where to look for a "multi-player game"... and it sure as hell isn't M$.... Business and intelligence are two seperate things...

Why did we all just forget about THEMAN?? seriously..... I mean, I love Stephenson, Gibson, and the whole lot of them, but I find it hard to believe that noone seemed to mention the author of one of the greates sci-fi stories of all time... "I have no mouth and I must scream".... Did you guy forget where the "Matrix" story was ripped off from??? heh heh..
Why, in both reviews, must you compare 'The One' to 'The Matrix'????
What? Is the 'Matrix' some kind of universal shining point in film?? Well, not in my opinion.... In fact, I think it's quite rediculous to use the 'Matrix' as a reference point for a martial arts film, since a bunch of dumb 'hip' white people in latex pants jumping around with millions of dollars worth of special effects is NOT martial arts....
Let's face it, while yes 'Iron Monkey' was at times correographed by the same person, the 'Matrix' was still a joke when it came to martial arts.... A f@@king joke...
So, please, don't let that cheesy Gibson/Stephenson/Ellison ripoff of a movie (with all of its horrible cast) sneak its way into every single movie review....

All I'm saying is that NERV better get some new Eva models produced, or the Angel inside that Astroid is gonna fuck us up mad crazy like.
word.
I say this:
"5-10 years ago, this wouldn't have been printed. Linux was still there, but this wouldn't have been printed."
"Why not??"
"Because M$ didn't feel threatened by Unix-based operating systems."
"Oohhhhhh, I see..."
Excellent Mutha(beep)ing point.
