ubuntu JE ? slightly off topic

2006-09-06 Thread aamehl

A co-worker just informed me that there is now a ubuntu ce (christian edition)
and while I haven't had the time to take a look, I thought it might be nice to
have a je. (jewish edition)

some thought that struck my over-worked mind were:


* comes with a default lunar calendar and has popups for how many cleaning days
left till pesach.
* Daf Yomi for Linux in 32 languages
* your choice of slang, hebrew, yiddish or aramaic
* (this one's for Marc V.) instead of a fortune your favorite Aphorisims from
Avadia Yosef.
* gematria of the day

Come on this is a project waiting to happen,

I see the line waiting to sign up getting longer and longer, as I type...

almost all of this is already out there. you want the daemons to be
malakhey sharet, you want logwatch to find gematria explanations to
why services failed, you want a ClamAV that gets constant updates of the
latest Piskey Halakha sigs and search the disks for non-kosher code. You
want to separate partitions for mail and femail. And of course, you will
need to wait 360 minutes between dairy and meaty shell-based cronjobs.

BSD ports is much closer to Judeism. pour all the code into a big messy
blob, make world and see it run for 6 days, then let the CPU rest.

tov, enough :)
