Henry's Damn Ubuntu Review

[nebyah]

Greetings Ubuntites. I have been instructed by the Forum masters to post here. (" Hello nebyah,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our Community Chat forum.")

I'm a Debian user, though I've experimented with earlier version of Ubuntu and KUbuntu, and am just starting to take a look at 5.10 now. The first version was the best, because of the nude wallpapers, and GDM splash. :)

Yesterday I wrote a review of the latest Damn Small linux (http://henrytheadequate.blogspot.com/2005/11/henrys-damn-small-review.html)

In another day or two (or three) I expect to post a review of Ubuntu 5.10 - well part one anyway.

... and that's about all from me... unless the Forum Masters want me to say anything else...

PS I have discovered a serious bug in the Ubuntu distribution process:

What, not so much as a "Yeah, thanks for coming, now sod off" :)
Weren't you ubuntites supposed to be known for your friendliness and your love of all humanity, even me?

No wonder you guys aren't known for your sense of humour. But wait, what's with "Breezy Badger"? Is that some kind of subtle fart joke? Because subtlety is kinda lost on me. And as for "Dapper Drake" well that's clearly based on that guy from that cartoon, so maybe I'm all turned around on the whole "Ubuntites have no sense of humour" thing.

This one is pretty easy to fix, just click here (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/donations/document_view) and read on.

[nebyah]

Why thanks folks. Now I feel all loved and stuff.
And thanks benplaut for eating my brain - it's a huge relief to be rid of that, I can tell you.

BTW I still get this: " Hello nebyah,

Bug or feature?

[tomwell]

The Robot League of Chaos nearly got me!!

But am glad you managed to put that Cd in your drive...

Peace

Hippy Dude! ;o)

Welcome,
Its probably still saying that since your post count is "0" Only time post "Count" is when its in a support forum, community chat post do not count toward the post count

Guess its a bug and a feature :) keeps spamming post count down but also leads to that message

[nebyah]

tomwell:
Thanks Hippy dude. And sorry about the next review, in which I beat you senseless for a bit.

Here's a preview:
Some long-haired hippie type comes up to me in the street and says "Ubuntu, man."

"Yeah, well, up yours too!" I respond. Jeez agressive people really are the pits.

"No, man, Ubuntu!" He hands me a CD. He must be a foreigner. Probably a spy...

Dr Nick:
Well that explains it. Thanks.
Also, since you're a doctor, I have this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. Can you help me with that?

[Dr. Nick]

Heh, Contact a qualified medical doctor :) I am a fictional doctor from a TV show who no one should trust for anything. My avatar is a picure taken of me during Med School, How much do you think I learned :) I have been quoted as saying


"The gloves came free with my toilet brush."

"If you want to have an exclusive surgery with me, Dr. Nick Riviera, dial 1-800-DOCTORB. Note the extra B is for BARGAIN"

My best guess would be that the voltage is wrong

[majikstreet]

dsl 2 is out?!?!?!

[Iandefor]

Gosh, let's take a moment and thank the mysterious hippy who died giving Henry the Adequate the wonders of DSL.
Lol, pretty funny review. And to think, I've been inserting CD's into my drive the dumb way...

[nebyah]

Dr Nick: Thanks for the advice. Voltage, yeah.

Magickstreet: According to Distrowatch DSL 2 came out on the 22nd. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=damnsmall

Iandefor: Thanks. A lot of people make that mistake. Actually I was going to try melting the CD down and pouring it through the slot, but that would be silly.

[tomwell]

Nebyah,

As soon as you realise beyond no doubt that the "hippy dude" is a spy he "KINDLY" informs you:

Man dont do it, we have had extensive self defence training at the academy we can resolve this in a non-violent way just chill!!! And come over here i have just made some "green" tea i want to tell you about the consiracy to rid the world of windows... Yes you heard me only Doors from now on... ;o)

Iandefor,
Am not dead!!!

Peace

Tom

ps: Jack daniels is talking be nice...!!

[Iandefor]

Iandefor,
Am not dead!!!

GASP! You're not?! You're trickier than I had anticipated, Mysterious Hippy/Tom!

[nebyah]

Man that's good. :)
But it's not a conspiracy, it's a revolution. I can just see the protestors now - marching elbow to elbow with their groovy plackards held high and their chanting, always chanting, "Down with Windows, Up with Doors! Down with Windows, Up with Doors"

[tomwell]

Nebyah, Iandefor, You guys are both making my Drunken state a lot more amusing!!!

Peace to both of You!!!

Man Life is great!!!!

Tom

[tomwell]

Oh i forgot:

Down with windows!!! Up with Doors!!! (they have locks and are much safer!!!)

Peace

Tom

[nebyah]

Tom you're a gentleman and a scholar, albeit a drunken one. Who else would put up with being beaten, abused, and allegedly killed, yet still spread the good word of Doors so selflessly.

Down with Windows.

[tomwell]

Tom you're a gentleman and a scholar, albeit a drunken one. Who else would put up with being beaten, abused, and allegedly killed, yet still spread the good word of windows so selflessly.

Down with DOORS.

Peace

Tom

[nebyah]

Hey I never said that! You twister of words, you.

Trusted Computing. If there ever was a misnomer... Anyway surely you're not allowed to say Kill Bill here, otherwise some loony might just go out and do it (or at least throw a pie in his face).

PS I am the walrus. Goo goo ga jube.

Anyway surely you're not allowed to say Kill Bill here, otherwise some loony might just go out and do it (or at least throw a pie in his face).
