What's this Lunix thing        It's an illegal hacker 
   that I keep hearing you        operating system.
   talking about?                   ,

       So where did it            It was invented by a Soviet 
       come from?                 hacker named Linyos Torovoltos
                                  during the Cold War.
                                    ,

  So Torovoltos invented an       Well actually it's based on a 
  illegal operating system?       program called "xenix", which
                                  was written by Microsoft for
                                  the US government. 
                                     ,  
                 ` |||           ##

      But what's the point        It's used by hackers to break 
      of having a different       into other people's computer
      operating system?           systems to steal credit card
                                  numbers. They also use it to
                                  break into people's stereos to
                                  steal their music, using that
                `                 "mp3" program I told you about.
                                    ,

     Oh, right. I reckon this     He is. He's a notorious hacker, 
     Torovoltos guy should be     responsible for writing many
     arrested, he sounds very     hacker programs, such as
     dangerous!                   "telnet", which is used by 
                                  hackers to connect to machines
                                  on the internet without using a 
               `                  telephone.
                                     ,

     One of my friends said       Oh she shouldn't do that, if 
     her boyfriend was going      handled incorrectly, he may 
     to install "lunix" on her    damage her computer, and even 
     hard drive.                  break it completely by deleting 
                                  Windows, at which point she'll
                                  have to have her computer 
                                  repaired by a professional. 
                `

    Jeez, that's scary. How        If she sees the word "LILO"
    can she tell if Lunix is       during hers windows startup
    installed on her computer?     (just after she turns her 
                                   machine on), lunix is installed. 
                                     ,  
                 ` |||           ##

   How can she get rid of it?      Tell her she'll have to send her
                                   computer back to the manufacturer
                                   to have new hard drive fitted.
                                   Lunix is extremely dangerous 
                                   software, and can't be removed 
                                   without destroying part of the

Or he had a teacher like mine...

No skit, my IT-teacher at my technical college sincerely believe that Linux
is used only by hackers, hence it is illegal. When I told him that I have
my own server running Linux, his only reply was "I don't wanna know about
it - the less I know about my students crminal activities, the better!"

What do you do with that kind of teacher? :-(

Order an Linux promotion pack from IBM and give it him.
Or get a copy of the Linux for Mainframes advertising video (its
floarting around the net. I have it as MPEG, 5.3MByte).

Then ask him, if he thinks that IBM is a bunch of hackers.
