“Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short…

Let him who hath understanding reckon the distro of the beast,
for it is a Linux distro,
its distro is Ubuntu Satanic Edition.”

I understand it's basically just Ubuntu with some cool themes, but still... You have to love a distro with an All Hope Abandon page.

First time I've ever seen Maxwell's Equations in a comic strip.

Excellent exposition in the notes following the strip.

Walked for an hour, about 11:15-12:15. The usual weekend trail by Los Gatos Creek between Leigh Ave. and Campbell Ave. I like riverwalks in general; this one is set low enough that you mostly can't see the busy streets except from below when you're walking under a bridge. Not very hilly, but at least it's green and interesting.
