Post by: Lito on April 13, 2004, 09:09:55 PM: Lb just can't spell.

Hell, i spent like days wondering why i couldn't get on linuxmonster.org, including complaining to the admins.

Then i found out that LB didn't do a spell check on his server, and found that it was lunixmonster.org D:

nono, Fam quote in reference to MonsE. I think it went something like:
<Fam> I can easily see MonsE crawling under cat 5 cables to throw a frag grenade at the linux admin while screaming "Suck this lunixmonster!"

By all means, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Post by: JHunz on April 13, 2004, 11:46:58 PM: Found the quote I was thinking of

<[NSGuide]Mouse> for some reason I find it hard to picture a recently showered Monse <[NSGuide]Mouse> recently as in less than a week ago <[NSGuide]Mouse> but I can picture him crawling under 10 metres of network cabling just to throw a frag grenade at the linux admin down the hall <Fam> oh yes! <Fam> suck this lunixmonster!

Post by: .NmF. Screen on April 13, 2004, 11:57:33 PM: I believe Lunix is some sort of os, or something, similar to linux.... Like linux, but not really.

Also, didn't 'lunix' as a humorous term originally come from the JeffK stuff on somethingawful, or is it older than that?

Post by: Uranium - 235 on April 14, 2004, 11:58:33 AM: Actually, you're both still completely wrong, and stop saying 'olo uraniums wrong because i liek bobs definition better!' Look it up you lazy ****:

LNG is an operationg system primarly for the good old Commodore64 home-computer. There also is a native version for the successor Commodore128. Ports to other 6502/6510 driven 8Bit Computers are possible but not yet started. LUnix started in 1993 and reached the internet in 1994. In 1997 LUnix0.1 was rewritten from scratch, the result is LNG.

LUnix (little UNIX) is an operating system for the Commodore64 - a famous home computer back in the 80s. It supports TCP/IP networking (SLIP or PPP using a RS232 interface). LUnix aims to look and feel like UNIX.

Christ.

Damn straight, young grasshopper. Maybe someday you'll learn that indeed, I am ALWAYS right. ;)

If it was something from SA.com, then it was making fun of aging old crappy OSes on obsolete artifacts from a bygone era, or most likely, everyone on SA is STILL a complete idiot.

'lunix' as a humorous term

AS A HUMOROUS TERM. I've heard of the little unix operating system too. I'm talking about using it as a silly replacement for 'linux'. Also, next time consider responding with a little less vitriol. It's bound to become tiring eventually.

SomethingAwful usually tries to make things 'Humerous' by simply misspelling the words (And usually fail at it). I highly doubt that they knew about LUnix if they wrote it up, hence why I was saying it was wrong, and more a coincidence then anything.

Plus, when I have the right answer with proof, and people still say 'olo omg ur wrong', it tends to piss me off.
