Matthew writes: A new Linux distribution called Enterprise Linux was released today. Its creators say that unlike most Open Source hackers, they truly understand the Enterprise market and that they’ve made numerous improvements to enable the software to compete effectively in the Enterprise.
Lead developer Marcus Newby explains. “We added all those cool sounds from the original series. Now, when you ping someone, you hear that constant pinging sound that you heard on the Bridge. When you transfer files, you get the turbo lift sound. When you log in or out, you get the transporter sound effect. Folders open with the door opening sound effect when you hover over them–no need to click!”
“We’ve also improved performance with a new Kernel we call “warp”. It’s based on the Mach kernel, but it breaks the light barrier rather than the sound barrier. And it’s not OS/2 Warp, so don’t even go there. Klingons wouldn’t even use that OS.”
“Anyway, we’ve got our phasers locked onto Windows in the Enterprise market, and they’re not set on stun this time.”
