Well, it’s the end of the decade, and I figure we haters owe ourselves a good historical dose of self-designed FUD. So here it is, based on the very first Letterman list:
(10) Heats. So what if your ten-year-old dumpster-dived PII (now with added Linux Desktop!) fails to resemble a modern desktop. It heats the basement!
(9) Rice. I think we can all see where this is going. Take a beat-up Toyota, add go-faster stripes … and paint it brown.
(8) Moss. A rolling stone gathers none. Thus the six-month release schedule. Sadly, it’s still basically a rock.
(7) Ties. Try apt-get for something simple, like NotepadClone#122. Marvel as your entire bandwidth is sucked up for the next three hours, as the distro magically reconfigures itself with dependencies you never even knew existed!
(6) Needs. Youse don’t needs that.
(5) Lens. Next year is the year of Linux Desktop! If you’re looking down the wrong end of a kaleidoscope…
(4) Ice. I’ll bet you’ve never heard of this: http://wiki.openice.org/index.php?title=LinuxICE. Linux as In-Car Entertainment, woot!
(3) Nurse. Nurse, SJVN is out of bed again!
(2) Leaks. Check your toilet. They’re usually brown.
... and, number one … (rim-shot, please, Paul)
(1) Meats. Check your refrigerator (Powered By Linux, Real Time, Baby!). Also usually brown. The next release will be green and furry.
