What is this Linux you speak of ?
I called my trusted software provider, Microsoft, and asked their opinion of this product. They assured me that it's a virus and that if I installed it it would make me sterile  . And if I ignored their advice they'd send people to my house that would shove an enraged emporer penguin up my ass  .
Their CEO is certifiably crazy so I tend to believe them  .

Therefore, I must decline your request  .

| OK, I can help a lil bit, but for some reason my Linux Boinc Manager is now asking for a password that I did not set up, so it can't connect to the work units it should be crunching. Any ideas? |

Well, ya know, Bill G. did have a lil trouble running hotmail on NT and Exchange server for a few years there... Kept migrating the backend back to BSD
All said though, I doubt the OS would matter for the project, unless they have, meh whatever the hell that thing was called that tied WUs to a given CPU type/OS, and they ran out of Windows units...
Though if one wanted to poke fun at Windows (which I'm actually using, though sort of have a Linux partition), one could always show another innovation 
Edit: Never mind mention of OS not mattering, just saw the other thread. Linux client only |

Works a treat.

Meh, I've sometimes thought they could make many a tech support worker's life easier if they'd install an "any key" onto the keyboard
One thing is certain, it would bring an end to this type call 
caller: Hello, tech support, I can't find the any key. What do I do, what do I do?
support: Calm down and tell me the problem please.
caller: ...Then it said "press any key to continue". Where is the any key, I can't find any key called "any key"

I wonder what they'd put in the place of the caps lock key, on that keyboard Probably some mention sent back to the typist "stop shouting you AO-Hell n00b"
