The release names and notes are childish and repulsive.

  Then don't use it.

  I think you're missing the point a little.

    You don't see any problem with "Rape My X"?
    - mahouse 11y ago
      What's the problem, you got TRIGGERED?
      - nyolfen 11y ago
        how old are you
        mahouse 11y ago
        Old enough to know that writing "rape" means nothing.

  Ah, yes. How dare they have fun.
  - Poiesis 11y ago
    So, I'm totally ok with "Baconator". "Chlamydia" is kinda poor taste. Not OK with "Rape my X". So, yeah, tasteless.
    - tcdent 11y ago
      Meh, people always get bent out of shape when a statement makes them think. You feel guilty because your mind associated it with something inappropriate. "Rape my X" is likely in reference to the window manager. I don't see an ethical problem with metaphorically raping computer software, especially when KILLing is taken so lightly...
      - nyolfen 11y ago
        yes i'm sure the parent was upset because "rape my x" challenged his unexamined beliefs and not because it's juvenile edgelord shit

I don't understand. Is there a Linux distro out there with too many combinations?
anonbanker 11y ago
A small Debian distro without systemd? Sign me up. Installing Lacipecsenye right now in VM. Thanks.
- guipsp 11y ago
  Why do you dislike systemd?
  - secstate 11y ago
    Maybe the parent didn't have to cock the gun, but for goodness sakes, don't pull the trigger ;)

    There are quite of few aguments to run without it http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Arguments_against_systemd http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Arguments_against_...

    It's an RPC backdoor to the GPL's module restrictions, for one.

Is this a distribution? It is not clear to me, at first I thought it might be a DistroWatch clone.
- avinassh 11y ago
  I think yes. This is what their `about` [0] page says: LinuxBBQ is a multi-purpose operating system based on the Debian GNU/Linux "sid" branch, spiced up with kernels and tools from siduction, grml and our users! [0] - http://linuxbbq.org/about.html http://linuxbbq.org/about.html

What is it?
- Poiesis 11y ago
  I had the same question at first, but I loved it anyway.
chmielewski 11y ago
As someone who always used to always get the Debian net install, then upgrade to Sid, this has been my favorite distro for years. Frenchmaid and dkegr tools are great, community is second to none, and there is a lot of innovation with new tools/scripts while keeping a traditionally UNIX beardlength. Think of LinuxBBQ as what crunchbang (#!) should have been all along. Being able to snapshot your system ("roll/roast your own") into a live image is also a great tool. I use this as my primary desktop OS. Great for lovers of tiling WMs like I3. Edit: come meet the meat on freenode at #linuxbbq

Hey it's my bootstrap theme with my name misspelled ;-) Thanks! I'm honored. PS: Check out my other projects like http://unreadable.website http://unreadable.website, http://indycast.net http://indycast.net or the super-secret http://2words.io http://2words.io

  I remember this from Gentoo's April 1st joke, nice theme!
  - kristopolous 11y ago
    yep ... same thing!
ausjke 11y ago
looks cool, downloaded bork amd64, could not run it inside virtualbox, with xorg fatal errors.
616c 11y ago
Uh, was there not some Linux distro for Android development with a similar name or I going old and senile? UPDATE: Ah, how ironic, I guess I was looking for BBQLinux. What happened to this project? http://bbqlinux.org/ http://bbqlinux.org/
