What Is The Lunix Monster?

[Temm]

I wanna know....

[Clashen]

It's not quite a Linux, and it's not quite a Womster. A LunixMonster.

[Lito]

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:

[Dubbilex]

I think it's seafood or something.

[Anarki3x6]

i captured it and it lives in my aquarium of dewm  

[JHunz]

I think the name is originally from a MonsieurEvil quote.  Unless the server existed before that quote.  I don't remember.

[Dark]

come on now share with us this so called quote so as we may know where the reference is from

anyways i just stole it from anarki's aquarium and it is now in mine

[Jefe]

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.

[JHunz]

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!

I believe Lunix is some sort of os, or something, similar to linux.... Like linux, but not really.

Hit the nail on the head, that's where we got the name.

[GWAR]

I really thought that quote came from monse,  guess I was wrong  o_O

Lunix is an operating system for... the Commodore 64... it's actually LUnix, or "Little Unix".

[Ulatoh]

actually, the name of the guy who invented it was linus korval, or something or other...

linus + unix= linux

[BobTheJanitor]

Linus Torvalds OMG nub.

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

hey, i was closer than Uranub

[Uranium - 235]

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.
