The definitive review of Ubuntu Linux 8.04 “Hardy Heron”

Link to full "Review"

In summary, Ubuntu Linux is still not yet ready for the Desktop. Our recommendation is to take a rain check on this release: Commercial and educated power-users will no doubt avoid this system because of it’s dangerous ideological bias, lack of quality software and out-dated technology.

We do feel that the new release of Ubuntu Linux will have moderate success playing to it’s core-audience: It will provide an entertaining diversion for hackers in-between prison sentences.

Definitely the comments on the site are half the fun.  Some don't "get it" others I think may be the author continuing the message.

Is it just me, or is the entire thing just hilarious?

The best part are the comments where people don't recognize the whole site is a joke.  I think some of the supporting ones are the author trying to make it look like there are people who not only believe the site to be real but who support its claims.

(I flipped a coin to decide whether to try and convince you it was real or not - you won  :angel:).

LOL, That's one for me, most of the time, I always get caught on these. Or if someone post a story from the onion without linking it.

The reviewer is an obvious idiot for the fact that "it's" means "it is" while "its" means its.
