my dad salvaged an ancient notebook from work to use as a living room computer (usually if he sees something on TV that interests him, he starts googling it), or use for vacation planning etc.
tried to install windows but failed twice due to errors i can't remember. i then told him, fuck it, as you use it only for surfing, we'll just put linux on it and installed ubuntu 8.10. worked like a charm. everything ran out of the box, no hassle, nothing.
a week later i asked him how it was going; he answered: "everything's perfect, but i don't like desktop background - the skull."
the skull ... what skull? then it dawned on me: "dad, that's not a skull - it's a stylized ibex."
