Worst Distro Ever

damgar · 10-24-2010, 09:57 PM

I would just say that I truely enjoy the semantics wars that you only find in forums/threads such as these.

Keep up the good work!

P.S. LFS is a pseudo-distro.

On topic, I've yet to install a really bad distro, just some I liked less. Minix3, if it were a linux distro would be my vote, but I have a feeling my issues relate more to my own ignorance than anything particularly out of sorts with it's intended functioning, and it's not linux anyway.

Slack is still my favourite Worst Distro. It's better than all the other Worst Distros I've tried.

One would be wise to heed the words of brianL... some folks think this distro is the worst but I think its fabulous but Slack is for them that have understood and sadly there are those among us that never will,they will fall away into the clutches of Vista... !

I've got a teenage mind trapped in a rapidly ageing body.

Far out, dude! I have now read the blurb about you guys on Wikipedia and it seems you have overwhelmingly laudible aims. I so totally agree with you on having no goals, no aspirations, no expectations, making no effort, only living to collect welfare checks etc. etc. etc. I was tempted to apply for membership, but cannot reconcile myself with your flagrant promotion of the doctrine of acute intermittent autodidactic pyromania. Sorry, guys; count me out.

Completely Clueless Whoa... don,t be too hasty,every church has its fringe types and nutters and them trying to discredit it... LOL... its all in your mind so make a stand against what you do not like and promote the true church of God...

You are most welcome to join the fight against evil anytime that is if you can be bothered... I hope so. LOL

ps remember its all in the mind so you are a member as soon as you think you are... like right now if you like.

brianL · 10-26-2010, 05:23 AM

...and don't call me Shirley.

Wow! It's even easier than becoming a Muslim, then! ISTR that you must say aloud, "I accept Allah as the one true god" within earshot of two Muslims and you're in. Your church doesn't even require witnesses or affirmations! Way to go, dude.

hughetorrance · 10-26-2010, 12:33 PM

The one and only true living God and his lord are our only witness...

About the acute intermittent autodidactic pyromania...well...as it happened,when I was a toddler my mum was always catching me with a box of matches,she used to frisk me and take them off me and give a big slap,so I always seemed to find another box... by the time I was 5 I grew out of that one but only after I had set fire to... my pram,the dustbin,the hedge across the street and a field full of cerial(by accident,it just spread to quick)(my sister was in on that one)...ooops so you see I can understand whats bothering you but fear not,I,ve got it under control... I hope... LOL

ps I forgot the big one...I set fire to an easy chair but fortunately a passer by spotted the smoke and threw the chair out of a window and the house did,nt burn down... wheeeeeh,I think I gave it a rest after that.

pps hysterical init... the truth
