A bit of Linux humor
While catching up with some posts on the CentOS mailing list, I came across a post from a person who had managed to hose up his system by forcefully installing several RPMs. The user was using Oracle’s unbreakable Linux, and installing the RPMs had really done a number on his package repositories. I laughed silly when I read Jim Perrin’s response to the users plea for help:

Original poster> Uname -a shows:

Jim’s reply> This isn’t a RHEL kernel. This is the Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel.
Jim’s reply> Congrats, you broke it.
Ahhhhhh — the humor we geeks find in the little things. :)
