This is a great idea. I am sure this issue is very closely related to Linux, but I'm afraid I am unable to fathom the connection. Could somebody please enlighten me?

Haven't you heard of Linux furniture
Lol you guys ......

Windows chair
looks good, you sit on it once or twice
and then it collapses under your weight
you injure your back, with splinters in your %$#
the chair comes with a disclaimer so you can't sue

Debian chair
the chair comes in a box
its a stack of 4 x 2's, a hammer and some 6 ' nails
and a pictue of a table

Slackware chair
a tree stump arrives at your doorstep
with a chainsaw and a picture of a chair
and a note "make it yourself"

Mandrake chair
nice looking chair with french polish
the arm rests are on backwards

DOS chair
actually a little foot-rest
( actually I lied its a beer crate and theres no beer )

Red Hat chair
your RH chair has been repossessed
and replaced with the new Fedora recliner

FreeBSD chair
this chair is made of welded railway track
not very pretty, but will never collapse under your weight

Apple chair
it doesn't matter if you don't feel comfortable
in this chair, this is what you are going to get
like it or not

The Suse Chair
fine German craftsmanship that is
but don't sit on it

The Ubuntu Chair
Made of African Mahogany, absolutely beautiful
however there is a note from Prince Mbobo of Nigeria
offering you a 5,000 chair share in 20,000,000 chairs
if they can use your shed to store them in
you agree and find three days later
your dining room suite is missing

The OpenBSD chair
A large sealed container arrives on your front lawn
with a sticker "contains one chair"
but try as you may, you can't find a way to get the damn thing out
you read the packing note which proudly says
"no-one in the last ten years has ever managed
to crack open our packing case to steal the chair"

and all you wanted was something to sit on
while you watch telly
