The real history behind the Lunix operating system

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker
operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos
Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program
called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These
programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems
to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's
stereos to steal their music, using the 'mp3' program. Torovoltos is a
notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as
'telnet', which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet
without using a telephone.

I know this is a joke, but I couldn't be a programmer without some pedantry. LUnix is actually a real OS! I booted it on my Commodore 64 once.

If my cyberpunk 2020 players ever steal a doohickey that sends them to an alternate dimension, it will be this one.

In case you want to fact check this post, I highly recommend Glyn Moody’s Rebel Code. It’s a nice, fast read and covers all sorts of cool shit. I’d love to see a sequel covering newer events.

(Edit: OP is facetious; mine is only facetious in that it references OP)

As much as I enjoy satire, there are people that will cite this and believe it

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Xenix/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Xenix plus Linux..... etc

How does New Lunix fit into the picture?

Considering this was written in 2001, I'm not all that worried

It's not satire! Torovoltos used telnet to hack into my iPhone and instal an mp3 virus known as Songs of Innocence
