HML = Hanna Montana Linux Distro

Here's what will happen.<p>Through some seemingly-tiny feature of the OS that the developer arbitrarily decided to include (something not related to Hannah Montana), this will become the best-choice Linux distro for a small group of people. A couple of these people will turn out to be brilliantly gifted hackers, and will continue to enhance the OS to the point where it begins to overtake other distros in overall experience.<p>HML becomes the flagship distro of the Open Source movement, and on its strength Linux finally overtakes proprietary OSs and establishes a dominant market share. Eventually, nearly every computer on the planet runs HML. By 2100, HML is the only thing anyone remembers the name "Hannah Montana" for.

This is entertaining. Is it intended to be serious at all? because having these 2 Q&#38;As consecutively in the faq:<p>--- Q : How/why did you make such a great OS? A : I thought - what would attract young users to Linux? So I created this idea after a lot of reading and work.<p>Q : How can I watch DVDs and other Media? A : click the Hannah Montana menu, then Utilities, then Konsole, then type: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 kubuntu-restricted-extras ---<p>is comical. to me, this says, "it's for kids, and the first thing they should learn is that linux requires you to learn obscure things to do stuff that's easy as pie and very commonly used on other computers."

After I choked back the vomit, I began to think "Shouldn't this just be an Ubuntu theme?".

The diversity of GNU/Linux distros is turning into something similar to rule 34 :<p>"If X exists, there is an X-themed Linux distro"

Someone must be held responsible for this.
