Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 20 years ago, in 2004, on the World Wide Web.

This isn’t a meme, damn it. It’s something worth mentioning, though, because it’s fun and remarkably accurate. Which OS Are You?

(Link thanks to Clancy at CultureCat 2004/10/15, who has the distinction of being Debian Linux.) Ego check update 2004/10/15: L. points out that I shouldn’t go around saying that a silly personality quiz is remarkably accurate because it says I’m the brightest among my peers. True that–I can only say that’s not what I thought was amusingly accurate about the quiz. I meant the choice of Slackware specifically; if you know something about Linux distributions and you know me, it’s a pretty funny (because true) match. Not to mention my fondness for getting a quiz result decked out with J.R. Bob Dobbs’ smiling visage.
