Wherever you look these days you see linux. There is no misstaking it, Linux is where its at.

So you are left with a problem, 'I dont understand this linux. How can I pretend I'm down with the scene while still running windows?'

There is a solution, linux up your windows.

Step one:

Set your start-bar to auto hide.

Step two:

Get some desktop art from a linux-art fan site, making sure that it has at least one microsoft bashing slogan or penguin on it.

Step three:

Change your Internet explorer icon to a firefox one.

Step four:

Change your Mediaplayer logo to a VLC player logo. (Or amerok or even totem)

Step Five:

Put a sticker over your windows key.


Ok, now you look like linux;

Q. But what do you say when your friends start asking about what linux is like?

A. First you mention how free you feel for being free from microsoft's imposing shackles of evilness then you go on to explain that everything you can do in windows you can do better in linux...

A2. If they are still asking questions throw some linux talk at them... "Yeah well, I thought like that too until I got my hands on the kernel and modified my stack protocol so I could control my GUI with a complex bash script."


Q. How do you know so much about linux TehMwak?

A. Well, I run linux on both of my computers. I have for a fair while now and that makes me better than you windows users. With my kernal and stack protocols... Fear me!


Grrr. Rawr!
