Randomly found this and found the concept somewhat humorous.

I heard that they put it on a french fry the other day. I don't know if if was alive or dead though. :biggrin:

Linux on a dead badger?

I would have tried CPR first. :biggrin:

I'm suprised they didn't use a butterfly, msn's symbol, I think that would have been funnier.

No, Windows wouldn't work because you simply can't reboot a dead badger.

Well, you can reboot, given the proper footwear, but the interface gets a little sluggish.

On the other hand, if you used a hamster in the first place it's much more portable, kind of like a laptop, or even a PDA. And I'm pretty sure there's a distro for Hamsters and Giunea Pigs, like Damn Small Rodent Linux or something.

Peace,

Linux still has fewer uses for me than a decent dead badger, so that would be a disservice to the carcass in question. :biggrin:
