- Gadren, on 10/11/2007, -3/+142Anyone else try to infinitely open Wubuntu inside itself?
- ers35, on 10/11/2007, -4/+132I hope you are being sarcastic:
"Mounting non-existing file systems..."
"Executing some scripts..."
"Logging your IP (jk :P)..."
"Formatting Windows partition..."
"'Bill blocked it, trying again..."
As you can see, it is meant as a joke. - c10h14n2, on 10/11/2007, -21/+95Yup. The first thing I did was reboot my machine and then log into my bank account and saw that all my money was debited to amazon.com for a new HDTV. I'm sure it was this website that did it. Wubuntu. Russians thieves, I'm sure.
Oh wait. Maybe I was just drunken internet shopping again....Damn. - CSBolger, on 10/11/2007, -4/+75Man... I was hoping it was the Wu-Tang edition...
- polymorphist, on 10/11/2007, -17/+87It's not a web operating system...it's just a regular web site (and a very empty one, btw) with the Ubuntu look and feel.
- rompom7, on 10/11/2007, -5/+59Why do people keep saying that?
I don't see how it hurts to post a duggmirror link. When the server recovers, duggmirror will get it. There has been a few cases where people have bitched abouta non-working duggmirror link that worked perfectly fine for me. Most servers only allow a certain amount of simultaneous connections, and if duggmirror can manage to get a connection, it will be able to save a cache of the page before most of us can get in.
If you get so angsty over wasting 2 second of your time by clicking a duggmirror link that doesn't work, then maybe you should just not try the duggmirror link in the first place.
I don't mind if you digg down a duggmirror link comment, cause that indicates it doesn't work... What I just don't understand is how people constantly bitch about people posting a duggmirror link... It makes no sense... I cannot come up with one reason as to why people would complain about having a duggmirror link in the comments section, even if it doesn't work.

yes I did try that, while also running on Ubuntu, now if you'll excuse me I have to stop my past self from making sweet love to my mother.... - merdiesel, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34"Wubuntu aint nothin to ***** with!"
- P4R4DOX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+30not you, It just loads the pages in an iframe.
- Gman1223, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31I'm making my own distro based off ubuntu, I call it upuntu (you say it like "ooo-poon-too") it's going to be mainly for porn viewing, it has a dirty theme and wallpaper. I'm going to offer a free cd service, you get a free tube of lube with it.
- Willow01, on 10/11/2007, -29/+51You may want to make sure duggmirror works before you post. Makes you look like an ass.
- ijustam, on 10/11/2007, -6/+27better alternative: download the ISO and use the live CD
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -19/+40Was anyone else expecting Ubuntu for Women?
(Wubuntu - Ubuntu for Women - PERFECT for the kitchen!) - whattimeisit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Mirror: http://wubuntu.weejewel.net.nyud.net:8090/
- eddie72, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20WTF is the purpose of this website?
- LordVance, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18It is/was a proof of concept exercise for its developer(s?). Someone thought it was cool, and dugg it. It seems many agree that it is, indeed, a neat site to glance at for a quick 30 seconds.
- crazybrit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17wtf is the purpose of most websites?
Oh and the actual purpose:
"Welcome to Wubuntu, the Ubuntu interface as a website. I started this project because I thought it was a challange to make something look like an operating system. In this case i chose Ubuntu, since I had already done Vista :P" - adrianmonk, on 10/11/2007, -15/+31In a related story, the success of Wubuntu, the web edition of Ubuntu, has inspired several other spinoffs and variations of Ubuntu, such as:
flubuntu -- the distribution for people who have influenza
subuntu -- the distribution for lawyers
chewbuntu -- the distribution for lawyers who employ the Chewbacca defense in their cases
cluebuntu -- the distribution for people who, unlike all other Ubuntu users, actually know how to use Linux/Unix
stewbuntu -- the distribution for people who like thick, hearty soups
bluebuntu -- the distribution for people whose favorite color is blue (and who can't stand the warm colors in the default color scheme -- yuck)
oh, and finally:
YOUbuntu -- the personalized distribution just for YOU - rompom7, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18@willow01: That was one sentence in my argument. I do, in fact, think before I speak. You picked one sentence in my argument that does not apply to you, and tried to disprove my whole argument. Nice rhetoric, but it doesn't work like that.
I use a bookmarklet that I wrote, it takes me to the duggmirror from a digg comments page. Anyone that wants to use it, add this to your bookmarks:
javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href.replace('digg.com', 'duggmirror.com');
Just go to the digg comments page of the story, then click the bookmark. - raindogmx, on 10/11/2007, -5/+20@c10h14n2
If you was I hope you gave my shipping address instead of any other. That way I can ship your HDTV to you. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -13/+27c10h14n2 is either clueless or humourless, and probably thinks Internet Explorer is a Web Browser!
- Pepper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13That works up to the login screen. Try http://wubuntu.weejewel.net.nyud.net:8090/desktop.htm to skip straight to the desktop
- 13thMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Damn thing deleted my Windows partition. Oh, wait... that was me. nm.
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15@gman1223
You realize that dirty wallpapers are what gave Ubuntu it's initial burst of popularity?
http://robitaille.wordpress.com/2007/04/14/the-naked-people-artwork-in-ubuntu/ - antipasta, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17Strangely enough I was about to post this exact comment
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Well if you think about it they have a "live" CD and an "alternate" CD, and there is only one alternative I can think of to being alive so as long as the possum is x86 compatible it should work fine. I'll leave finding out where exactly you insert the CD as an exercise for the reader...
- PhireN, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I couldn't manage to get firefox in the 2nd wubuntu to work.
- g3r4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7lol. No.
- jenshik, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7This had 404 diggs when I saw it on the front page.
- MihaiM, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I was sure it was some way to run Ubuntu on the Wii
- MinaSulo, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10Yep, GNOME is really this slow and lacking that many features.
- Crazymaniacc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5It crashed :S
- tize, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5the effort, sorry i have to bury you :(
- Leviathan88, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Vista under Firefox under Wubuntu under Firefox under Ubuntu.

Come on, guys: Ubuntu != Linux - WeeJeWel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Dude, someone just told me some guy digged this.. and I was like 'wtf' when I read the comments :P So much offtopic, but who cares? :P
Don't take my project too seriously. It was just an idea of mine and never had the idea to develop it any further. And ofcourse I didn't format your HD, but if I was able to I definitly would :)
Oh, and this explains why my server was so slow. It's a slow school server that can handle a maximum of about 3 connections lol :P - stmiller, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Then don't use Linux. You sound like you are better off with Windows.
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2This is the closest you can get right now (I know it's old, but it's funny):
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml - JimmyRyan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It almost gave me the fix I need while on my winblows computer at work. ;)
- Bloodangel05, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Ran wubuntu, inside of firefox, inside of wubutnu, inside of IE.
We all gonna die! - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7You complete cretin - throw away your computer immediately
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3@mictester
Internet explorer is classified as a web browser, and if you had actually read his second comment, you would understand his original comment is a joke. - RoboDonut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@richggs
It doesn't run in IE. - angrykeyboarder, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Clever idea. Too bad it's look is somewhat dated. It's from a GUI that's over a year old.
- kevinlyfellow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2HAHA, nothing in the trash...
"It's empty, you bastard!" - nxtwrld, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2nice work!
The next step should be implementing it in Flash to simulate Beryl effects ;-)) - cnttuchme, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1does any one know were i can get linux i really want it my freind says its the best os out there and i want it so if any one can give me a download link that would be great
