  • I love the way he says "GNU Linux", instead of the short and untrue "Linux".

  • im going linux as soon as the games i play are native to it :)

  • Fry is wrong.  GNU is not an 'entire operating system'.

  • Suddenly, SOPA-PIPA-ACTA...

  • >Guh-New

  • I bet Fry has a crazy gaming rig, haha.

  • I love how UNIX gets it's name from being 'castrated MULTIX'. Meaning ultimately GNU and Linux both get their name from MULTIX and are both based off of it in many ways.

  • I installed Linux on my son's computer. Frankly, I expected some whining that this or that doesn't work. To my surprise, most games worked either in wine or dosbox, and he quickly discovered games on repositories.

    Now I have set up Audacity and hooked his 50€ keyboard (no MIDI) to the soundcard, in two passes he first records the keyboard section, then switches input and records vocal.

    Dawid is 11 years old, and I am sure there are younger GNU/Linux users.

    He probably has MacBook because apple make very nice hardware and you really do osx or windows to have an iPhone or iPod (need iTunes for software updates etc) but he may very well have a linux disro on his MacBook
