The Troll Cave
July 15, 2008
We all love satirical humor, and it gives us a nice laugh every once in a while.
However, what’s not fun is to take the humor seriously, and … promote it as real facts. Can it get any dumber? I don’t know. Just like Linux Hater (point 3), I was confused about the website myself, ’till I saw it was being actively promoted. So yes, it’s humor, but while we’re all laughing, there’s a twist.
So, I present to you, the Troll Cave: a collection of snapshots taken as the footprints of the dumbest (or smartest, depends how you look at it) trolls about:

Although in its FAQ part, promotinglinux site pretends that it is a joke; I strongly disbelieve their claims. It is obvious that they are intentionally and persistently misinforming users about Open Source in general and Linux in particular. IMO, this is not a joke anymore!
The question that I ask is, why are they doing this? Does getting attention give them the thrill? Is someone hiring them to do this?…

promotinglinux.com runs on CentOS. Yes that is a Linux distro. I suppose that’s part of the joke. Shame your average Joe sixpack won’t be able to find this out though.

They’re even running wordpress and have some funny stuff hidden in their HTML source code…

Funny.
I asked where I could get some of those 100,000 Linux machines that Dell could not even “give away to some poor country” as I will never use more than 126,
Linux will never give me the problems she mentions.
peace,
