Hindu gods use MS. Shiva the Destroyer has to be running NT. As for the Greek gods, doesn't Bacchus use Wine? Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:All praise be to Allah? Seriously though, I've heard Allah uses the three free BSDs, Jehova uses Linux, Buddha uses Plan 9, and Zeus uses an OS based on compiled Perl, or at least that's the word on the street. I've read that Jehova uses Linux because, like Jehova, Linux has a lot of different versions and flavors. You can pick which one you like best and roll with it. Heck, that makes me wonder about the Hindu gods? Now that must be a mess. Perhaps they are all based on some kind of agent-based operating system that can be combined in any number of forms? This is a good question. If you were a god (or God for the monotheists) which OS would you use to run the Universe(s)?
