A Not-So-Shining Linux Endorsement

Wed, 12/31/1997 - 20:05 — Andy

I heard on the Mindspring Minute (will it be the Earthlink Minute??) that some Christian group will be releasing a Linux-based OS called Jesus (or something like that). Get a load of the features:

  • It has Christian-based desktop themes and icons
  • It has Netscape preconfigured to include links to Christian websites
  • There is an option for the Computer to automatically shut down on Sundays
  • It blocks illicit websites
  • (And this one takes the cake)It will not allow you to install software programmed by known homosexuals

    • I am not joking about this, I really heard it on the radio. I cant find anything about it on the web, but if someone does, e-mail me the link and Ill post it. So to recap, a bunch of radical right Nazi-loving Jew-hating in-the-closet-homosexuals are designing an OS based around Linux (If you are on the radical right wing and were offended by those comments...I would feel as if I have done my job).
