Hackers Successfully Install Linux on a Potato

Hackers from the LinuxOnAnything.nl Web site successfully installed Linux on a potato. It’s the first time the operating system has been successfully installed on a root vegetable.

“A potato doesn’t have a CPU, memory or storage space, so it was quite a challenge,” said Johan Piest of the Linux on Anything (LOA) group. “Obviously we couldn’t use a large distribution like Fedora or Ubuntu, so we went with Damn Small Linux.”

After weeks of trying the group got a Linux kernel specially modified for a potato loaded, and were able to edit a small text file in vi. Linux was loaded onto the potato using a USB thumb drive and commands were sent in binary to the potato using a set of red and black wires.

The LOA group is a part of a growing group of hackers attempting to get Linux loaded on anything. It started on electronic devices like Gameboys and iPods, but recently groups have taken on tougher challenges like light bulbs and puppies.

DEAR LORD I’M LAUGHING SO HARD.

I am me and you are you, and that's the beauty of it all. I tend to be an unusual human, it's one of my finer qualities. I also tend to be on the quiet side until I know you well, one of my weaker qualities. This is my safe haven where I can let my mind roam free without consequence, here I let myself be heard. As of now, I no longer choose to live in shadows. I'm finally learning to let the sky clear.
