Ubuntu Christian Edition Facts

Monday, September 11th, 2006

What with the Hacking for Christ strip, I thought this was appropriate: Ubuntu Christian Edition Facts.

“If you uninstall Ubuntu Christian Edition, it will automatically re-install after three days.”

“In Ubuntu Christian Edition, EOF is replaced by AMEN.”

“On Ubuntu Christian Edition, only married processes can fork children.”

Eric hugger

Back in January, I promised to donate a tenner to the FSF for “a (genuine) photo of you hugging esr whilst wearing [an eler t-shirt]“.

Well, I’ve had my first claimant, Cathy Mullican! She writes:

the picture was taken last week at the World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim, CA, which is why we’re in a hotel hallway and I’m wearing mouse ears. I knew I was likely to run into ESR at the con, even before I saw the panel schedule, but didn’t know if he’d go for the photo or not, until he commented on the shirt as we passed in the hall while party-hopping.

He did recognize it; he’s not a fan of the strip — thinks it’s more mean than funny — but I mentioned that part of the proceeds from the shirt sales went to FSF and the pledge for the picture, and his response was “Let’s do it!”

This is awesome. And I think it’s great Eric agreed to pose for the photo to help FSF, even though he’s not a fan of the strip. Good show ESR!

Quality is a little poor due to camera phone.
