Looking thru my mailbox, found these. Enjoy.

(Not saying anything's wrong with these, you just see them a lot on this list)

- Posting a UserFriendly link
- "I'm new to linux"...
- Distro Wars: Episode XXV
- *BSD*

- Asking a question about configuring
-- Being told to grep the source
-- Red Hat, not Debian issue

- What's the best Mac distro?
- I'm running XXX, why doesn't Quake 3 run?

- How exactly do you pronounce (So-and-So's last name)?
-- Just like you pronounce Linux.
--- How do you pronounce Linux?
---- You're wrong.


- "On msu.misc...."
- This week's meeting is at: XXX
- The location of the meeting has changed
-- The location of the meeting has changed again
--- Can anyone host this weeks meeting?

- Why doesn't GLLUG become a MSU RSO (Reg Stu Org)?
-- MSU RSO's can't have non-student officers.

- XXLUG Does this!
-- We used to do that.
-- We should do that.
-- What are they thinking?

- VMWARE is cool.
-- VMWARE sucks. Not open source. Use XXX, instead.
-- VMWARE sucks. Why would you want to run anything but Linux?
-- VMWARE sucks. Why would you want to run a closed source OS?
-- VMWARE is cool. If only I could afford it.

- Sounds like a hardware problem

- There's a security hole in Windows.
- There's a hole in Red Hat
-- There's a hole in Debian
-- There's a hole in the kernel.
(empty the keg, the liquor cabinet, and the liquor store) There's a hole in
OpenBSD.

- GNOME
-- KDE
---- MOTIF

- SMB
- NFS

- Microsoft sucks
- Microsoft really sucks.
-- Hello, this isn't GLMBG... Linux, people!
--- Shut up, you Microsoft Loving Flamebait Whore!

- I'm having problems with my computer in DOS/WindowsNT
-- Bugger off.

- My ISP doesn't work with linux
-- yes it does, you just don't have....
--- But I do!
---- No you don't!
----- YE... oh, wait, you're right.

- Cable modems with Linux?
-- Can I get ASDL? (Aside: Supposedly Jun 30th was the rollout date for EL)

As for Diablo 2: Like crack, but slightly more socially acceptable.
