RftE: Ubuntu Server

You can install Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS with your big toe. I know because I just did it. It’s worth pointing out that I have a pretty large big toe, too. Those with smaller, nimbler big toes will have an easier time with the keyboard.

Who knows what kinds of fine motor systems extra-terrestrial beings will possess? Are they sure to have opposable thumbs and slender digits? We don’t know, and that kind of adaptability and accessibility is exactly what makes Ubuntu Server… Ready for the Enterprise.

    Jdub, mate.. there .. are no words for how bad that was.

    I guess we know that at least ubuntu does “big toe” usability testing.

    Yeah, but you can’t set up Ubuntu Server for automated network installation with your big toe, much less both hands. Installing Ubuntu Server on a single machine is a piece of cake indeed, but Real Men need to install it on dozens or more, with site specific customizations.
