Is that serious? Because somehow I can't see installing Linux on a Shetland pony.

I'm posting this from my potato right now.
It was a bitch to get the video drivers working.

Lost count of how many lucid dreams I've had

The background around that smiley is not the color of Dream Views' back ground. It should be changed to transparent. Originally Posted by Man of Steel

I'm a bit surprised at BBspot for this, actually
The whole "Linux successfully installed on [humorous inanimate object]" has been done at least twice before
Back in 2000, IBM showed off a wrist-watch running Linux
http://www.research.ibm.com/Wearable...inuxwatch.html
this spawned a whole heap of spoof articles
It happened again in 2004 - I can't remember what set it off (may have been that linux running petrol pump? - can't remember)
but the spoof articles were rehashed in 2004
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/...5/badger.shtml
(I remember at the time, people complaining that the joke had been done to death already)
and now this one
We need some better inside jokes
the ones we have currently are old....(\_ _/)

Hey, I just had a thought... The Potato Linux kernel's mascot would be Mr. Potato Head in a tux.
