From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How could you not include the classic printer lp0 on fire!

I actually got that one around 2010 on Ubuntu. The printer wasn't actually on fire. If I recall it was caused by the network attached printer losing connection during a job

the famous "This incident will be reported" error was briefly removed last year before being replaced with a less ominous version.

  • Login as a user.
  • Delete the user while still logged in
  • Run command

You should get a message "you don't exist, go away"

Not sure if that one is still around but I know one person who ran a script with "deluser $USER" and it ate root resulting in fun messages like that
