the second command is for 'UCK'.

AAAGGHHH

Why couldn't they use what little brain cells they have left and call it

 10-scripts-to-create-your-own-Ubuntu-based-distro

Oh silly me.
For journo's,  Ubuntu === Linux.

Sorry for that but I've spent the last 3hrs fixing a Ubuntu system that 
had for some reason its root filesystem 110% full.
Yeah, I know that I should have booted the DVD but it wouldn't boot. My 
removable one was 20+ miles away so I had to try to get something 
bootable on a USB stick. You know that dent you have on the wall next to 
your desk? Well the one at this clients is an awful lot bigger. And no, 
they didn't keep their backups up to date, and no they wouldn't let me 
take the system off site and finally, it had to be fixed by 11:00pm 
tonight as their US operation would automatically FTP a whole bunch of 
files over. That was the cause of the problem. 18+Months of daily FTP 
operations and no one did a purge!

End Rant.

PS, It was fixed but I've got to go back tomorrow to explain to their MD 
that their IT guys should be fired.

4. Fedora

So certainly more tools seem to exist for Ubuntu and/or Debian based
distros. Wouldn't say it was 10/10 though. Lets not let facts get in
the way of a good rant though! :)

Hey ho.

Cheers,
Al.
