notice it didn't say:
rm: cannot remove directory `/home/dork': Permission denied ..?? That's because it was successful. You don't have to be superuser to make a cock up with rm. Your system might indeed be very fast, and get through your whole ~ in less than the time you can react.
take your non openboot/OBP firmware and your cheap shit china razor chink china fucking crap shit and fuck off. take your shit fake crap and fuck off. LONG LIVE Alpha SRM, LONG LIVE OBP. Death to BIOS and fag shit like PXE and other PeeCee faggor crap. YOU FUCK WALLOW LIKE PIGS IN THE PIG STY OF CHEAP SHIT HARDWARE FROM CHINA AND OTHER SHITHOLES, FUCK YOU FOR SUPPORT SHIT YOU SHITMONGERING FUCKERS.
Come on, Offtopic? Like there's any point to the topic of "Linux on a Dead Badger"!
I'm afraid all I can conclude is that the only point of this article is to reinforce the fact that Micheal is nothing but a cum-guzzling teabagging homosexual It's not even funny, I don't want to talk about dead badgers and the OS's you can run on them, but I do want to point this out:
I think over the years we have all learned to become hyper critical of stories posted on 4/1 thus making it harder and harder to slip one by.
Hm, maybe you're right. Maybe it's the complete lack of subtlety or the fact that every story is a "joke" (as in not ha ha), or for some of us, April Fools long since finished, we're already expecting the most unfunny day ever on slashdot.
Good jokes are never predictable. Give it up Taco, just run the fucking news and be done with it.
As does the 9:1 ratio of "April Fools" vs. something actually funny post ratio. And the timezone quibbles. And the...
Slashdot should give up the April 1 shite.

Why bother installing Linux on some piece of shitintel when you've got a perfectly good Macintosh G3? You do know linux isn't limited just to shite platforms, but also run's on computers as well, right?
You could dual-boot your lovely G3 into either MacOS or Linux, whatever you want, unless, of course, you need MacOS booted all the time. In which case you should just buy another Mac.
Try reading it all over again and imagine a mellow, level-headed voice in your head instead of an insane, screaming zealot.
I did. In the context of my original post. And again. While I had no trouble imagining the soothing voice, I can't believe the message was written by anyone other than an ignorant, presumptuous, insane, screaming zealot.
Probably the pimply-faced, still at Mom's variety.
Get it dickhead: Despite not liking Gentoo 100%, I still use it after 18 months. Does that tell you something? Do you see that despite the criticisms I have of it, I still believe it can improve, and obviously haven't unplugged it in favour of another distro.
After me calling you a dickhead no less than six times, has it hit you yet? It's actually people as ignorant and zealous as yourself that I think Gentoo bigotry is worse than Debian's.
I'd say Gentoo isn't for you. You'd be better off with something more tuned to your skill level.
Then in a later post tell someone else that they "assume much". Where did I say anything about my skill level. I was simply responding to someone with my opinion of the Gentoo system, which you can't argue with.
Did I ever say I had problems with it? No. Did I say it trashed my system? No. I simply said that I think portage is dog slow, and that the performance gains don't seem to be worth it to me.
Then you imply I haven't / can't read the docs.
Whooosh!! That's the sound of the point going over your head. Dickhead: don't let other peoples opinions of Gentoo ruin your own enjoyment of the distro. If you're happy with it, good, keep being happy with it.
While you suggest I read the Gentoo docs, I recommend a course in reading comprehension for yourself.
Heh heh. Boot floppies is just another perfect example of what makes the debian culture what it is.
Total Alienation of those uninitiated to the One True Debian Way. I mean, surely it's obvious to you that you'll need something from a folder called boot-floppies to do your network-install.
Surely you know the pathname on your install CD of the CONTENTS.gz file, coz the install scripts sure don't. Here's all you know to install Debian:
Choose an installation method, CD, Net, Punched Cards...
Plow feet-first into it. If you don't understand some of the prompts, don't worry. It's only because they're the most arcanely worded tactics to bait you into asking for help, so your ignorance can be mocked.
Observe failure
Retry, in light of what you have learned.
After three or four attempts, not only will you be comfortable with the classic debian installer, but you too will zealously defend what is surely the way God meant Linux to be installed. You too will mock the newbies, that you once were.
The first O/S I tried installing on a Sparc Ultra 10 (besides Solaris 8) was Suse 7.1. It was a piece of cake! I hardly had to do anything at all, and all of the hardware was recognized.
Basically, you can't _not_ detect all of the hardware on a Sparc, thanks to OpenFirmware. It's not the job of the OS to determine the hardware, good firmware should take care of that, and present a nice list to the OS of what's available, and at what addresses.
Detection on the PC will probably always be shoddy, because most hardware for them is shoddy. No two BIOS's are the same. An abundance of cards exist that rely on Windows driver code to do the work the hardware should, so even if you detect it you can't use it.
If only the PC lost to the Macintosh, it might be a nice world in spite of the fact we'd still have copies of Windows running around, just for different (better) architectures.
"Hardware Detection" would be a term used only inside of labs actually making the hardware/firmware. OS's could get on with, well, Operating.
That may be one way to do it, but I can assure you it is not necessary. The post above yours is absolutely correct, I'm sure he hasn't left anything out, and that's the method I used to get Debian installed on an Indy.
The parent is right, too, it wasn't easy getting all the information together, and only due to my prior experience doing net installs on other machines.
I wonder what sort of Indy you used that the Prom monitor wasn't supported. This has been the case for me with an Alpha machine in the past. Pity they didn't use decent firmware in those machines. Mind you, I'd have to say that, wouldn't I?
On the other hand, if you're not using x86, many packages aren't even in unstable. I've wondered about some of them, simply added ~my_arch into the USE keywords and bingo, they've worked fine.
Portage is poorly maintained, and managing your own distfiles repositry is a pain. You download every revision of the kernel every time is changes, rather than patch. The other day, my system wanted to download linux-2.4.24.tar.bz2 when I already had linux-2.4.24.tar.gz. Someone changed something in the ebuild, and now I get to download what is essentially the same file all over again.
Gentoo sucks if you have dialup, and is a waste of time and bandwidth whether you do or not. It has some benefits, which is why I still use it, but I still hate it.
I run gentoo on three different platforms. Though things certainly seem snappier, the portage system for managing software is dog slow.
No, it's only "lightning quick" if the box it's running on is "lightning quick" anyway. Gentoo is far more trouble than it's worth and that's coming from someone who's been using it, and is still using it, for about a year and a half.
Portage, and the compile problems that you'll inevitably come across will more than outweigh any time you save by having apps compiled just for your arch.
Yeah, I can't say I've been trying to be all that effective. I've been quite busy (I only use my troll account at work) and haven't even got my -1 bonus yet, sometimes people even take me seriously.
I'd love to have an intelligent conversation with you about OF, but like I say, I only troll at work.
No, I guess a knowledge of OF isn't enough to stop me trolling. Don't exactly know why you'd make that assumption either. Oh well.
Standards like OpenFirmware just have no place on a PC. Requiring hardware manufacturers to, for once, actually have to abide by EXACTLY ONE standard will just not happen.
A new platform will have to be conconcted to house all the shit sound/video/ethernet cards you suckers are using now. With some "BIOS" implementation that'll be just as bad, or worse, if that's possible.
Floppy disk sales will plummet, what with firmware being built-into cards, and people being able to netboot their PC's, or EVEN BOOT OFF THE SECOND HARD DISK. Imagine that.
Windows XP2 will only boot from said "BIOS", OpenFirmware x86 will never be MS supported. Ugh, it says it's "open".
Good god, it's as if there's something revolutionary about a machine coming out without ugly, broken, hacked, shocking on board code I refuse to call firmware.
Remember the glee of PC owners when they were at last able to boot of a CDrom, WITHOUT booting from floppy first.
Give them 5 years, Intels might have a consistent method of booting over ethernet, don't hold your breath though.
And it's not that they keep reinventing the wheel, it's that they still don't realise the tyre (US: tire) is flat!!!

so no, you don't have to su first for it to work.
you cocksmoking teabagger.
You silly bugger.
I'd rather run Linux on anything but i386, though I know that's primarily what Linux is designed for.
take your non openboot/OBP firmware and your cheap shit china razor chink china fucking crap shit and fuck off. take your shit fake crap and fuck off. LONG LIVE Alpha SRM, LONG LIVE OBP.
