I have a hard time calling it a review, but it brought a few smiles to my face. Fun article.

The flowchart was funny. I think a lot of people install 18 incorrect packages before they actually manage to install the Flash one.

That flow chart is ridiculous. It's just a bunch of sections of text in boxes randomly linked together. It doesn't have any reason for being formatted like that at all, and it doesn't work properly as a flow chart.
For example: "What's a root?" - "Oh for Christ's sake" - "The installation disk you burned earlier"
How are those things linked? Idiocy!
And the article is like a poor parody of comic writing a 14 year old would make.

It is funny though, isn't it?:D

I do agree that flowchart-formatted jokes are funnier when they are actually flowcharts (http://xkcd.com/518/).
But the "...or a Mac user" did make me laugh out loud.

I saw this one this morning. This is actually quite a bit nicer to the subject matter than most of Cracked's topics.

LOL.
Wait a sec, I didnt follow any of those steps. *thinks* OK, well, I just skipped the 'download 18 packages' and decided that flash wasnt worth bothering with.
Before anyone thinks I'm just lazy, I only installed flash on windows every 2nd or 3rd install. Flash sucketh most profound.

GNU/Linux operating systems can come in a huge variety of flavors, many of which more or less contain the same software, leading one to wonder if these people are just ******* with you
That's comedy gold right there :D

I just thought It was cool to see linux taken into account even @ at humor site like this one :)
And look!, they even say positive things about it..
Nicks and dings aside, I still think Ubuntu and others have nothing to envy from MacOS

Haha, I'm one of those who installed 18 different version of flash when I first tried Ubuntu out.
I was completely expecting Cracked to slate it through to the end, but it's nice of them to say some positive things at the end of the article.
