I have been worried for a number of weeks now, about what would happen where a powerful OS like Linux fall into the hands of the ghosts that haunt the moon. We all know that spaceships don't run Windows, so if a spaceship crashed on the moon, it would be likely that moon ghosts would find their way inside, and, due to their curious nature, tamper with the computers. If one of these computers had Linux on it, it would give the moon ghosts technology that they would not be able to comprehend or use responsibly (ghosts *cannot* use technology responsibly, this is scientific fact) which could have dire consequences for the human race.
My idea is to write a Moon-ghost distribution of Linux (suggestions for names welcome!) that would be very cut down, so it had little power. This distribution would be installed on all planet-bound spacecraft. This way, if it they where to crash on the moon, the moon ghosts would not have such a powerful tool. My question to /g/ is, what distro would be good to use for this? What sort of features could be removed? Wireless obviously has to stay in as the spaceships need to communicate with earth, and they would need webcam functionality to photograph stars and craters and things.

How stoned or drunk are you?

drugs are bad & I don't drink
if you think about it OP, it's likely that the ghost's hands would not be able to press keys and buttons on the computer--it would therefore be difficult for them use the Linux operation system, and they'd probably give up. Just extrapolating from known data re: ghosts, and Linux.

I'm sorry but I don't think this picture is actually a moon ghost
do you have any from different angles so I can make a better judgment?
also ghosts can use computers this has already been proven multiple times

i searched my archives and found another picture of a moon ghost. sorry for the delay--had to scan it in :~)
It's simple OP, we install OS X

It's what they look like, I know I was there last week.
I made sure to use only windows ce on my rocket ship though.

I don't think spaceships run Linux.
Laptops on board might, but I don't see the benefit of using it.
NASA most likely write their own drivers, and the you won't send software far away you don't know everything about.
>>54987781
Yes but the light saber horn is a false one. I couldn't figure out how to do a real one it was too hard. It's just frosted glass with led's in the base.

I really, really don't want moon ghosts to download Linux. They're ghosts. Do they even understand the gpl? Who knows what kind of proprietary software hell they might unleash.

I need all the good luck and prosperity I can gather up in my two small hands...
The obvious solution is to use Android (no root, locked bootloader) in spaceships

Also, we have a bigger threat of encountering daemons or the aliens watching us, than pissing off the ghosts enough to hack us

I never post in these but god, I really miss mootles
fuck you OP for these feels
Spaceships run OS9. As evidenced by Jeff Goldblum's Apple Pismo connecting to the alien space ship in Independence Day 20 years ago.

Gotta agree. I hate how time marches on, but sometimes that's the only way we truly appreciate what we had.

Aliens using the most advanced technology available? Color me shocked.

No worries anon, even if these moon ghosts figure out how to abuse a powerful operating system, and scavenge up enough parts and solar panels to run a powerful machine, the internet doesn't reach the moon. So you're safe.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Windows 10, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.
