As to the etymology of the word, don't laugh... but I had always thought
I had invented it myself. :) Or rather, my daughter.
Seriously, though, I had never heard it used before I started saying
it. Many years ago when my youngest daughter was around 2 years old and
still trying to master this whole "talking" thing, she would say
something "bork" instead of "broke." My wife and I thought it was cute
so we started saying it too (I know, I know: way to reinforce a bad
habit) and I've said it ever since. A few years back I heard/read
somebody else use it and thought "Hey! That's my daughter's word!" :)
And yes, my daughter is all grown up now and says "broke" like she's
supposed to. However her mom and dad still can't get away from saying
"bork." :)
Back on topic, I'll just say that apt-get has become more troublesome
lately for me, so I've gone back to yum (still using atrpms.net
repositories as well as others) and things seem to be working much
better. A few things about yum I don't care for (like its speed,
refreshing its pkg lists at every invocation) but it does seem more
reliable than apt-get lately. That said, doing a wholesale upgrade to a
dedicated system like a Myth box is probably a bad idea unless you
understand exactly what is going to be upgraded... and likely "borked."

Hello. I did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade today and now my

I'd love to know the etymology of that word. Wikipedia says "possibly"
related to the Swedish Chef (which was the first thing I thought of),
although it could be an homage to the failed nomination of Robert Bork
to the US Supreme Court.
