Intel engineering seem to have misheard Intel
marketing strategy. The phrase was "Divide

Linux poses a real challenge for those
with a taste for late-nighthacking
(and/or conversations with God).

Linux is not user-friendly. It _is_ user-friendly.
It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly.

Some people have told me they don't
think a fat penguin really embodies
the grace of Linux, which just tells me
they have never seen an angry
penguin charging at them in excess
of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
careful about what they say if they had.

Waving away a cloud of smoke, I look up,
and am blinded by a bright, whitelight.
It's God. No, not Richard Stallman, or
Linus Torvalds, but God. In a booming voice, He says:
"THIS IS A SIGN. USE LINUX, THE
FREE UNIX SYSTEM FOR THE 386."

One of the things that hamper Linux's climb
to world domination is the shortage of bad
Computer Role Playing Games, or CRaPGs.
No operating system can be
considered respectable without one.

... being a Linux user is sort of like living in
a house inhabited by a large family of
carpenters and architects. Every morning when
you wake up, the house is a little different.
Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls
have moved. Or perhaps someone has
temporarily removed the floor under your bed.

I've personally used e2fsprogs 1.05 to make
a 54bib partition. That's a lot of bibs.
I thought a double chin was a lot, but to need
54 bibs, it would have to be a FAT partition.

Other than the fact Linux has a cool
name, could someone explain why I
should use Linux over BSD?
No. That's it. The cool name, that is. We worked
very hard on creating a name that would appeal
to the majority of people, and it certainly paid off:
thousands of people are using linux just to be able
to say "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What
a cool name". 386BSD made the mistake of
putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations
into the name, and is scaring away a lot of people
just because it sounds too technical.
