Installing Linux on a Dead Badger

Obviously, it was the headline attracted me! But I stayed for the magazine ...

Strange Horizons is an excellent little on line rag! The site is well designed, the fiction and poetry are top notch and the reviews and articles are uniformly good and informative. I'll be checking this one out on a regular basis, and perhaps even contributing (cash, if not work: these folks still publish poetry! and it's not the usual modernist gibberish you find online!)

An article by Lucy A. Snyder at the online speculative-fiction magazine Strange Horizons provides information on the next frontier in Linux installations. 'Let's face it: any script kiddie with a pair of pliers can put Red Hat on a Compaq, his mom's toaster, or even the family dog. But nothing earns you geek points like installing Linux on a dead badger.'

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
