Yea, thats right, I am saying it. F YOU *BUNTU!!
Really, its not the OS I hate, its not fully the distro (I do hate some things about debian based systems but thats something else).
My problem is with the *buntu zealots. “z0MG I jUSt insTALLed (u|myth|eee|ku|whatever)buntu ANd It IS awESOME!!!111oneone”
“THESE ARE THE COMMON *BUNTU COMMANDS TO LEARN IF YOU WANT TO GET AWAY FROM WINDOWS!”
This and that and everything about hating windows. All-in-all, they keep saying this is for *buntu. They dont mention its compatible with Fedora, or gentoo, or hell, even debian (*buntus are based on debian!!!). No, the guides online are specific to to *buntu….
So, I present to you, my quick and dirty php script that converts *buntu based guides into generic linux non-specific based guides. All by changing the things specific to debian based systems, and adding info for other common package managers.
So here is the original link, that has the “*buntu specific” crap: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/8729.aspx
And here it is, passed through my script: http://loclhst.com/ubuntu2linux.php?url=http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/8729.aspx
So its still in a alpha state, but you know what? it works.
Another site: http://loclhst.com/ubuntu2linux.php?url=http://www.watchingthenet.com/ubuntu-tip-how-to-launch-programs-in-the-background-from-a-terminal-window.html Images are broken, but the content is literally copy and paste for -ANY- Linux OS.
