NotYourBuntu

With all the different spin offs from Ubuntu Linux, I thought I’d spin my own version, and make it available to everyone.

My version is a little different (aren’t they all?) — in that it will only work for me. That’s right, it’s “Not-Your-Buntu.” Since it’s Linux, and since I didn’t think there were enough different Ubuntus out there, it only makes sense for me to release it for everyone to enjoy, right?

Why choose NotYourBuntu? Well, if you’re me, it works incredibly well. It make old hardware perform like a new 8-core Macintosh, and the graphics are incredible. In fact, it will even play DVDs you don’t own! Just type in the name Just say the name of the movie you want to watch, and NotYourBuntu will retrieve the video in real time, even if you’re on dialup. It will also download all your favorite television shows automatically, and wirelessly broadcast them to your television!!! Even if you don’t have a television!!!

NotYourBuntu is an Ubuntu clone like no other. It’s too bad you’re not me, because NotYourBuntu is the fastest, sleekest, awesomest, most bestest-est Linux version ever created. I’ve also used a revolutionary compression scheme that makes NotYourBuntu fit easily on a floppy disk.

Download the full version HERE. (Please note, unless you’re Shawn Powers, and have the super secret password, NotYourBuntu won’t extract and install)

Enjoy NotYourBuntu!

UPDATE: I removed the link to the “distro” because it was really just a password protected zip file with a text file inside. The text file said something along the lines of, “Look, it was just a joke…” A password protected zip file is something that drives me batty though, so I figured I’d just get rid of it. 🙂

Ah, bitter irony

I’m that guy that notices grammar problems. You know, the little ones that really don’t mean a whole lot in the big picture. Yeah, I’m annoying.

The ironic part is that I submitted the final draft of the article I’m writing for Linux Journal. I had a professional review it for me. I edited it myself. I read it out loud to my poor wife (who graciously listened). Tragically, somewhere between copy and paste, (3) grammatical errors slipped in!!! And I already submitted the final draft!!!

Oh cruel fate, how you mock me…

Back from the retreat!

What a great 3 days! We’re all pretty tired, but everyone is home safe and sound. Here’s a little video snippet. I have the yellow balloon.

(If you watch close, I almost pass out!)

Hiatus

I’ve had more than a 3 day gap in posts before, but for the next 3 days I’ll have a reason. Or excuse. Or something.

Donna and I are going with the youth group to lead a retreat. It’s in a beautiful camp located on 6.5 miles of Lake Huron waterfront. The forecast calls for rain and snow, but it will still be gorgeous.

Signing off until Wednesday night!
