14:24 <TGEN> use UTF-8, US-ASCII or die
14:24 <Mjoellnir> die is a cool charset.
14:25 <Mjoellnir> DEATH SPEAKS IN IT

I think I've seen the former before, but the latter's new and contains a few gems.

``Business is unpredictable and unsafe. The Internet is dangerous. Many blogs have been written about these dangers, and there's no way we can list them all here. Read the blogs. The Internet is covered in slippery slopes with loose, slippery and unpredictable footing. The RIAA can make matters worse. Patent trolls are everywhere. You may fall, be spammed or suffer a DOS attack. There are hidden viruses and worms. You could break your computer. There is wild code, which may be vicious, poisonous or carriers of dread malware. These include viruses and worms. E-mail can be poisonous as well. We don't do anything to protect you from any of this. We do not inspect, supervise or maintain the Internet, blogosphere, ISP's or other features, natural or otherwise.''

I think this should be brought to every user's attention before they get access to a computer. And re-acknowledged every day. Anyone care to provide stickers, also in translated forms? :)

The funny part is: would you expect your Linux installer to ask you THESE questions?

# sysinst

SSD/Linux 0.4-20051205/2.6.12 Installer

  Why do you choose Linux ?
  We recommend you to use NetBSD, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD instead.

Are you sure to install [y/N] ? y
Really [y/N] ? y

But... if you're easily concerned about X-rated contents, maybe don't follow this, everyone else check out the devlish girls at Lookerland! (There are also some chicks with attitude, but I guess we've got enough of that on our own, thanks :-) (attitude, that is)

Lord of the (Make)files - An ode to build.sh, V1
  - Hubert Feyrer <hubertf@NetBSD.org>

Three dirs for the x11-build under usr/src/x11,
Seven for the GPL-lords in their halls of /usr/src/gnu
Ninety-Nine for the usr-src, doomed to (s)bin.
One for the superuser in his root-dir
in the land of /usr/src where the sources lie.
One script to rule them all, one script to compile them,
One script to bring them all and in src/obj bind them
in the land of /usr/src where the sources lie.

Update: Ignatios has an update with better rythm, so here is V2:

Lord of the (Make)files - An ode to build.sh, V2
  - Hubert Feyrer <hubertf@NetBSD.org> & Ignatios Souvatzis <is@NetBSD.org>

Three dirs for the X11-build under usr/src,
Seven for the GPL in their halls of gnu,
Ninety-Nine for the usr-src, doomed to (s)bin.
One for the superuser in his root dir

One script to rule them all, one to compile them,
One script to bring them all and in slash obj bind them.
in the land of usr where the sources lie.
