A Death Threat From A Puppy Linux Supporter

I’ve just been informed by e-mail that not only are some defenders of Puppy Linux flaming me on the new DistroWatch Weekly comments but one actually issued a death threat against me for being “negative” about his or her favorite distribution.

If you’re curious about the threat see post #90 on DistroWatch Weekly’s comments. I have not responded there and I will not. I also won’t back down or be intimidated and I stand behind my previous post.

re: Puppy

Microsoft in their wildest dreams couldn't come up with better anti-Linux PR then the so called Linux supporters (aka drooling fanboys) provide all by themselves - and for free no less.

It's just sooooooo hard to understand why the business suits aren't flocking to Linux.

Puppy and the hard work, made them short tempered ?

It may have been started by John Murga vs DistroWatch? then many tried to horn in on Barry(lgpl) for a piece of the change in Puppy distro?

But Puppy enthusiates had to work harder than most others. They have different file systems and file names, etc. Many people wanted to help Puppy for their own ego, as usual, in emotional outburst of Linux lovers.

Too much hard work makes dull boys or girls?

Eventually, this will all settle down. As Barry sometimes gets burned out too.

The view of MS Martin is predudiced perhaps, because distros are hardware sensitive. Most distros do not have the resources to have the same computer as many new users. So, we have to respect the sweetspots of many distros. It is discovering the sweet spots that made the Linux distro review great(you can use it for free). It is never the failures of a distro that made the review stand out, if you can not work around to use it for free, even.

strange people

I've always thought there's something weird about animal lovers, Linux users and residents of the U.S.A.

Bloody Ockers

Wake up people! The threat from Puppy Linux is real.

Consider the evidence:
1.) It's fans are rabid.
2.) It comes from a nation that distributes a mind-altering chemicals worldwide (Fosters).
3.) It loads itself into memory like a virus.

The other day, my neighbor's chihuahua, foaming at the mouth, lunged at me. Safe in my apartment, I began to wonder, perhaps there is something to these
charges against Puppy Linux after all, so I did an investigation of its creator, Barry Kauler. What did I find?

That this linux is in fact the first step towards Aussie world domination. Look at the picture at the top of this page:

What do you see over the BLOOD-RED word "PUPPY" (sounds innocent doesn't it?)? A chihuhua with a poppy flower in its mouth. This raises some questions:

A.) What is an outbacker doing with Mexican dogs in the first place?
answer 1: He is training an army of attack dogs in a remote desert region, they have to come from a similar locale, the desert, to survive.
answer 2: He can easily have this army of Mexican dogs "emigrate" into the U.S. under the nose of immigration officials unnoticed. Clever, eh?

B.) Why is the dog wearing a military hat?
answer: It is a diabolical downunder deed, a plot to take over North America, starting with promoting Linux, an operating system known to confuse and intimidate
the unsuspecting, innocent Windows users who were minding their own business when this upstart creates mayhem.

C.) Why does the dog have a poppy flower in it's mouth?
answer: It is well known that Tasmania is one of the world's leading producers of Opium poppies. Kauler is obviously drugging him to make him take ANY orders
on command, no matter how viscious.

I have received word from others who are watching the Puppy Linux trend that Kauler is also the master-mind of the Roo Virus. It hops from computer to computer
and unleashes a pouch-full of evil outback code. We have only one message to Barry Kauler: just drink your bloody stubbies, watch footie, and leave the rest of us alone!

Linux Unleashed, indeed!

You're on to something

(Or you're on something?) Serially, how many dog owners have you heard say "Don't worry, he / she [never 'it'] won't bite." Then it does. The image of an innocent, lovable (?) puppy is definitely a cover for something sinister.
