This is from the notalwaysright website:

When Open Source Meets Closed Minds (http://notalwaysright.com/when-open-source-meets-closed-minds/3305)

Caller: “I need to report a very serious computer crime! The local university is running an illegal computer system!”

(Since the site does does not use the Creative Commons License, I posted only the first line.)

I'm guessing that was someone with an even more acidic sense of humor than me.

Caller:It said something about Deviant Linux, I think...”
Me: “Do you mean Debian Linux?”
Caller: “Yes, that! Is it some sort of computer mafia or something?”

I LOL'd.

I now declare war on whoever that person was. It shall be a long, cold, hard one, but don't worry, apparently, his/her operating system is a "hacked" one, so we'll win in the end.

Let's all make up hilarious stories:

Windows user: I don't know what linux is
Linux user: It's an operating system
Windows user: What's that?


AHA HAHAHHAHA how amusing.

looks made up. Is this supposed to inspire some sort of righteous indignation ? Tux songs around the campfire ?

I would guess it was either a lame attempt at trolling to inspire righteous indignation as you say (I am actually surprised it hasn't!) or an attempt to inspire a few laughs.
