I still don't get it.
How the fuck you can install Linux on a potato? I mean, you can generate electricity with a potato. But installing Linux!?

Oh, and they install Linux even on puppies, Gameboys etc.

I'm afraid, your thinking of that?

They are just joking. This is a classic example of hackers' sarcasm.

The only way this could work would be to use the potato as a power-supply ( which, btw, can actually power a
REALLY small computer, like a single chip. ). However it will struggle to do anything useful, as it will probably have to be less than 5 MB large ( which an average lower-power PIC can hold ).
