Installation Anxiety
Installation Anxiety
Probably some of the geekiest jokes we've ever done, right here.
And now: The corrections of how we misrepresented Linux, aaaand go!

Paul was just so happy.
And I enjoyed the dishwasher joke. Though I think this would have been funnier to me if I was geekier - I can see stuff in it that I know would be funny to people who know more about computers than me.

I liked the prompt on the microwave.
Installing Linux usually takes a bit more than just plug in the key board and typing a bit. However you could boot Linux from a usb drive if you bios was set up correctly. Linux can be installed on Wiis, PS2s (and PS3s) and Xboxes
some cell phones and pda but no microwaves toilets or Grahams as they lack the necessary computing power even for Linux.

Part of the joke is the large number of things you can install Linux on in real life - people really do put Linux on their iPod's. DOS is mostly for x86 machines and WindowsME I think is only for x86 so there would be certain difficulties in installing them on another architecture. Besides why would you want to use WindowsME? DOS maybe to run some old school games but Linux is a lot better than either.

How much experience do other people here have?
I have run Fedora Core 3 and 4 and Ubuntu 6.06 at home. I am currently dual booting winXP and Ubuntu 6.10 at home. I have used RH EL/Scientific Linux 3/4 at work and school. I have done grid computing testing, software and web development and astronomy data analysis in Linux.

Speaking as someone that has gone on linux-installing sprees before (every computer in my house, Xbox, iPod, PDA, and router, no appliances/people though), this was freaking hilarious and I laughed so hard I cried through parts of it. However, I did see a continuity error-after Paul installes linux on the microwave, the keyboard dissapears until it's used on Graham, so dispite the typing sound effects, Paul did not bring the keyboard with him to the bathroom, backdoor, or front door. I suppose it's possible that he has multiple magic linux-installing keyboards throughout the house, but if he already had one in the bathroom, why'd he only install it now?
Paul=fast typer ever!
Next time you want to plug someone into a computer, try that weird foam you stick flowers in shoved in the persons bellybutton and then make sure the plug-in is pointy enough to be shoved into that through the shirt.

Wow, guys. I haven't laughed that hard in ages. I'm all for open source (I use Camino and Adium on my Mac), but Linux is one of those things that I'm still just far too leery about.
For reference, I've been trying to get a Linux-based ISP billing system running for eight months. It runs on CentOS 4 and previously, Fedora Core 2(?!). The designers of the program have been unable to sufficiently answer my questions vis a vis this system and a WISP network, yet refuse to believe it is the software at fault, because "after all, it's Linux."
You guys are awesome. Not basically awesome. Pure, unrefined, raw awesome.

Great video!
But I was more concerned with how pierogis were misrepresented.
For the record, they do sell pierogi in a microwavable form and they are rather tasty, but true homemade ones are boiled first as part of the initial prep and then usually fried or baked before serving.
Still -I laughed my ass off throughout this one.

Nah. Doesn't scan. Although a vid of Paul's head, suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating, would be awesome.
Man, I miss that show.
