  • Installers Can't Be Adocates

    From my experience, the majority of posters, aside from the misplaced
    political schmucks (that's a nicer word than "assholes"), can do nothing
    more than install some pre-built distribution.

    Now listen, you cheap cads.

    GNU/Linux advocacy requires actual USERS and not mere INSTALLERS.

    Got that? I fucking hope so.

    So demonstrate your productive use of GNU/Linux or else GTFO.

    We do thank you.

    Are you on some kind of controlled substance, idiot? Who would
    "install" an OS and not "use" it? Maybe that's *you*, in fact, because
    your Gentoo contraption can't actually do anything modern.

    Install AND use pre-built distributions, you "schmuck."

    Something tells me you're nym-shifting again. I guess that's what you mean when you say you're "using" Linux.

    Just because you play "dress up" doesn't
    mean I have to play "make believe."

    I honestly believe that the only thing Larry Pietraskiewicz does with
    his life is install Linux and post to Usenet about how challenging doing
    so was. He seems to do this again and again every day.
