If the original link is not a slideshow I apologize, but I ran across that link a couple days ago and page 1 was "I ran Linux in 5 flavors", page 2 was "North Korea yadda yadda yadda" Sorry, when the first website you want us to compare Linux distros to is the Nork's, then, well, I...

[23:49:42] <exec> 08└─TFA is basically "I ran Linux on my laptop and it works fine" which is hardly news. The guy also went overseas on holiday and spent one evening installing Ubuntu. Seriously? I though I was a bit of a geek, but what a waste of time.
