So...

[NoaHall]

I was thinking of making a distro based on the Giant Spaghetti Monster.
Any takers?

[Chronon]

Go for it.

[pwnst*r]

i'll take mine with some romano and parmesan, kthx.

[JugglinPhil]

Whats a Giant Spaghetti Monster?

[NoaHall]

Go for it.

Okay, to your point :) :

"Ubuntu Buddhist Edition" - Mention of the religion. Entire thread based upon the religion.
" Linux for Enlightened Beings" - implies all those who aren't buddhist are not enlightened. And also those which don't use the remix are also not enlightened.

[Chronon]

Yes, and "Ubuntu -- Linux for Human Beings" would cast aspersions on anyone who doesn't use it as being non-human by your logic.

[wojox]

The GSM is the genius behind the little-known Noodle Theory, which has been ruled "way cooler" than string theory by Papal decree. It is little-known because nobody actually knows anything about it.

[NoaHall]

Yes, indeed it would.

I don't want the thread deleted, not at all, simply moved to a different place in the forum.

Well, its kinda true based on what everyone else uses. I'm not a Mac, and I'm certainly not a PC; I am a human, so Ubuntu all the way for me. Not sure what others who use other distros are though...

[Chronon]

What about the thread announcing Masonux or other remixes?

I hope you see the logical fallacy there.

[NoaHall]

It's not about religion :) The rules therefore don't apply to those threads - they complied to the rules.

The only religious word is the word "Buddhist" -- enlightenment is not strictly a religious word at all. The topic is about a remix of Ubuntu, not a religion. You don't seem to understand the relationship there.

To get this discussion back on topic, does discussing the inclusion of an FSM wallpaper automatically make this topic contraband (in your opinion) as well?

(I understand this is entirely academic, since I am not a moderator and it's not my job to decide about matters like this.)

It is if you take it in the context. You can't just take a word out of context.

I know it's about a remix, but it's BASED on a religion.

What kind of Kernel will you use in it a Maize one or will you fully green with a Wholemeal One...

I think the Buddhist, and Christian Ubuntu projects are developed by a third party. Obviously, this third party has a vested interest in the specific religion.

That being said, Canonical supports the Ubuntu kernel. Which means people who are using those remixes of the OS can get support on the Ubuntu forums.

And as Ubuntu users, members of the Ubuntu community, we have an obligation to help whomever, regardless of their personal beliefs.

If someone posts "Having issues with Beelze-buntu." Our first posting is not to be "Well, have you downloaded the Jesus fix?"

Now, having said all that, I don't understand why any specific religion "needs" their own distribution. There is nothing "religious" about Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu in the least. The only reason to "theme" a current distro is to make it "yours". A.K.A. Linux Mint

Um, was this a quote "fail!!!1"? or was that intentional?

I could care less what affiliation anything has with anything else, as long as it doesn't have any malicious intent behind it, I couldn't care less...

I'm guessing it was a "fail"


PS - FIX IT!
oh and have a nice day ;-)

[Chronon]

Yes, but that's meta. How meta does something have to get before it's allowed? Ultimately, all topics can be connected somehow. I had presumed that only discussions involving the specific topics of religion or politics were banned. A discussion about something that relates to religion or to politics (but isn't) would seem to be allowed. History is inextricably linked with politics as is law, yet both of those topics seem to be allowed for discussion here.

If you wish to push these restrictions beyond the first order then you end up restricting quite a lot, it seems. Your own name has a religious origin. ;)

Ummm.... huh?

[Chronon]

I think because your post didn't appear to have much to do with the quote.

[Mornedhel]

Pfff. Buncha unbelievers.

I'm a follower of the Invisible Pink Unicorn, myself. Blessed be Her holy hooves.

"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."

[Shibblet]

It was intended as sarcasm. That's why I quoted.

Beelze-buntu? Jesus Fix... really?

Well, back to comedy school for me. ;)

:lolflag:

However, this is what I would consider religious discussion, in contrast to seeking advice on how what sort of stitches to use on an Invisible Pink Unicorn flag I want to make, for example.

I think I've found a new Higher Power.

You guys are being way too religious. How about discussing how to make an Invisible Pink Unicorn theme for KDE 4.3.2 instead?

The "hell" you say! J/K

Why isn't there an open forum for religious discussions?

[Chronon]

I guess with this many people the chance for all-out Holy Flame-War is too great.

Yea, what he said. I thought this thread title was a phonetic play on the word "sew". I brought my yarn, needles, and everything. :-P

[SunnyRabbiera]

I want a invisible pink unicorn distro too, oh and Cthulhu :D

[Chronon]

You should totally do a remix with both. They could be super-best-friends, right?

[skillllllz]

The appropriate name for that distro would be "ZOMFG!! WTF??"

Yes I could do a remix of both, but to be honest both the FSM, the IPU and Cthulhu all fail in comparison to the mighty power of Chuck Norris :D
Oh and the power of the trans dimensional porcupine :popcorn:

[Barrucadu]

I want a invisible pink unicorn distro too, oh and Cthulhu :D

Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

[Chronon]

Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer.









It's too bad he has never cried.

[fela]

Er......yeah whatever man! Like I know all about the giant spaghetti monster...

[SunnyRabbiera]

Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Just covering all my bases so I dont seem biased ;)
All hail the trans dimensional porcupine by the way :D :popcorn:

[Chronon]

Don't think that being a Unitarian lets you peddle your religious views safely. Please discuss the remix, not the religion. ;)

[pwnst*r]

lol, OMGBESTIES

[SunnyRabbiera]

But the trans dimensional porcupine is divine, it is time, it is space, it is spiny!
No other god out there has razor sharp quills and can breathe fire, oh and it can turn pink and light up, it can go "Ring, ring" and make a tree appear, it can also walk, talk, and sit around being mighty.
All hail the trans dimensional porcupine!

Well, you've convinced me. Where do I sign away my immortal soul?

[SunnyRabbiera]

On a fortune cookie sized piece of paper, no bigger, no smaller.
It is the law of the trans dimensional porcupine :D

[Barrucadu]

It is done! I await the spiny heaven I shall enter now after death.

[fargle]

I'm interested! But you might not want to go too far until you realize it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster, not the Giant Spaghetti Monster.

[drawkcab]

I will buy an extra computer just to have something to install it on.

[what, what?]

I was thinking of making a distro based on the Giant Spaghetti Monster.
Any takers?
