..what would they be like? Strictly for the purposes of humour you understand. Bloated SuSE - seedy old tart, used to be very good looking, now gone to the dogs somewhat. Mandriva - a confused man with an identity crisis. Ubuntu - tries to be everything to everyone, has some annoying habits. Slackware - dominatrix in needle point stilettos and a leather basque. Probably has a whip somewhere about her person. RedHat - high class corporate call girl. Fedora - see above (slumming it). Debian - a hippy with a LOT of children. |

>"Debian - a hippy with a LOT of children." Just 2 children. But, 1 rabbit, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, somewhere around 30 peacocks, and nobody has managed to count all the ducks. Please watch your step at night; the toads and whipporwills like the walkway. (Don't stand under the trees at night. That's not snow falling. http://edge-op.org/images/2006-04/2006_0418/04180003.jpg ) Oops. You weren't talking about ~users~ of distros. Never mind. |

sal - I see Debian as a prissy teacher's pet. Does nice work, but isn't always up to the demands of the real world. |

Sal, this is more like it:
--- SuSE - Once a sweet plump young thing, but shacked up with a mobster sugar daddy and picked up way to much weight. Mandriva - I used to be somebody!!! Ubuntu - When Debian goes bad... also see 'mass hysteria' Slackware - dominatrix in needle point stilettos and leather corset. Definitely into whips and bondage.... also see 'repetitive behavior disorder' RedHat - Pricey corporate whore. Fedora - see above (slumming it). Debian - News Flash... Renegade monks form community. |

> Mandriva - I used to be somebody!!! Isn't that "I coulda been a contender!" > Slackware - dominatrix in needle point stilettos and leather corset. Definitely into whips and bondage.. Yes, but only when the partner wants it that way. The rest of the time she merely wants it simple and rough. |

>Isn't that "I coulda been a contender!" I'll buy that :D Actually the line is "I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum" >The rest of the time she merely wants it simple and rough. That too, but you must add the 'repetitive behavior disorder' |

> ...but you must add the 'repetitive behavior disorder Well, I've never noticed, but lets just say that it's a good thing ADHD wasn't widely recognized when I was a child. :) |

I think you stepped in it big this time sal... Who me? Put my foot in it? Get away. "Open mouth - change feet". Ought to be on my tombstone. Just a bit of fun. No insults intended. |

Reading this thread gives me a strange feeling. You know the one, like when the BSA and the U.S. Marshals knock down your door and there you stand, wearing your wife's best chain-mail with lime Jello dripping from your head. |

Quoting: You know the one, like when the BSA and the U.S. Marshals knock down your door and there you stand, wearing your wife's best chain-mail with lime Jello dripping from your head. I'm in England. I would get changed before answering the door. The whole thing might have something to do with the steroids I'm on at the moment. Please feel free to unpost. |

Did I mention that a number of those Renegade monks were slightly mad :D |
| salparadise May 17, 2006 10:04 PM EDT |
Only slightly? |

Must be some of those crazy Slackware users on the loose. BTW, you left out... Freeduc - your 3rd grade teacher Blinux - Helen Keller Knoppix - travelling tinkerer, everything falls apart as soon as he leaves Linspire - "Vote for me and I'll set you free!" Gentoo - the nerdy neighbor kid who compulsively takes your appliances apart and reassembles them, every visit Damn Small Linux - midget with a 3-ring circus in a backpack |

I left nothing out. I started a humourous thread with the intention of revelling in the wit of others. "Damn Small Linux - midget with a 3-ring circus in a backpack" Now that's more like it. |

PCLinuxOS - Amazing what rehab and a new set of threads can do. Mepis - 'If I never see another pyramid...' or 'you mean this isn't the ad for Joe Camel?' |
| dinotrac May 18, 2006 3:22 AM EDT |
Mepis - Mepis Jar Jar's favrit Linux, Mepis. |
