Oh dear, you are really desperate.

I’m wondering – why ‘ubuntard’, since ‘bastard’ is much more precise?

The thing that really sucks about this is that you could actually be a useful person. You’re obviously intelligent. The problem is that you’re an elitist prick.

I’m an Ubuntu user and I could hardly call myself a retard. I’ve lately been ricing my 10.04 installation (boot processes, kernel tweaking, etc.). And making it more secure.

I have a hunch you already know how to do a large majority of what I’m already doing.

BTW: I actually do have a system that only has 8MB RAM and it runs perfectly well with Ubuntu 10.04 with a GUI and all my tools.

This is awesomely dangerous advice. Now I know which website I’ll _not_ be recommending to my friends. I can’t believe I started reading thinking this was a serious article. I only worry for the day when this website makes a frontpage on google.

Just wondering, aside from the sillified explanation, isn’t mounting with noatime considered pretty decent advice?

Linux in 1989?? Really?

Maybe add a warning label to this post?

“If you can’t rub two brain cells together and notice glaring factual errors like “/dev/lp: Line printers and vinyl records.” and the screenshot of BSD, you deserve the results of blindly running commands.”

Most of the destructive commands are before the parts of very obvious satire. also the screenshot isn’t that obvious. nobody deserves to be punished for innocent ignorance.

You missed a trick: if you’re going to go to all that effort upgrading your $PS1 to $PS3, why even bother loading X? In fact, just “sudo apt-get remove xorg” and you’ll see whole orders of magnitude of improvement in boot time!

Haha, the backlash at this is hilarious.

I’m pretty sure a similar post to ubuntuforums.org would have got you banned for violating:

don’t post dangerous commands or instructions not even for fun – IT’S NOT FUNNY.

I’m a computer illiterate and only b/c someone who linked to this said it was satire did have an inkling you were making a joke.

@luser

You’re probably right – let’s make them destroy their computers, they’re stupid, they deserve it. After all, they did it themselves we’re not to blame.

Reminds of fun with the SET command in the good old dos days:

SET f=”format c:”
SET n=y
SET y=n

You know the joke succeeded when your friend, after distinctly saying ‘no’ to

‘Will now format c: [y/n]?’

Is greeted with

‘c: successfully formatted’

Though i have lot of things to ask, the very first thing is:

“checking various locations for the Linux kernel executable delays the boot by several seconds.”

– How are ensuring that, this is searched for several seconds in each boot ?! Is there any proof in official websites ?!
