Installing Linux on a Dead Badger: User's Notes

Let's face it: any script kiddie with a pair of pliers can put Red Hat on a Compaq, his mom's toaster, or even the family dog. But nothing earns you geek points like installing Linux on a dead badger. So if you really want to earn your wizard hat, just read the following instructions, and soon your friends will think you're slick as caffeinated soap.

"Badgers? We don need no stinkin' badgers!"

Hmm... Something seems to have gone horribly wrong.

You DO have to click the link. Trust me.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, MESSR! I DO NOT STINK........! I TOOK A BATH ON SATURDAY......

Why would anyone want to do that to a badger? The poor thing would be incompatible with a large portion of Windows badgers due to tweaking the open source. Sure, you could add a fifth leg to it, or another head, and would generally get to feel cooler than everyone else, but eventually your badger would die (again?) from sheer lack of socialising, all the while muttering to itself how uncool and unhip the rest of the badgers were.

Of course, if you were to set your badger up as a Mac, it would starve to death waiting for any "foodware" to be released in a format it could use.

YOU TRY TO INSTALL ONE ON THIS BADGER AND I GUARANTEE YOU'LL HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL OF YOUR OWN INTESTINES....!

I saw something like that once. Of course, that was back when I ate mushrooms that looked like that.

Nah, rather than starve, it would talk itself into thinking that it actually enjoys tofuware (the only digestible foodware available to it).

That site WILL destroy brain cells.

My kids still break into the... well... "song," on occasion.

Yes, Dad. *sigh* Hey, billy... let's go outside and play with rocks.

[Seriously, sorry to have annoyed you. :^)]
