Chapter 18. Recess Time<br />

This bizarre little intermission gives the reader a chance to<br />

relax and maybe laugh a bit.<br />

Fellow Linux user, greetings! You are reading something<br />

which will bring you luck and good fortune. Just e−mail a<br />

copy of this document to 10 of your friends. Before you make<br />

the copies, send a 100−line Bash script to the first person<br />

on the list given at the bottom of this letter. Then delete<br />

their name and add yours to the bottom of the list.<br />

Don't break the chain! Make the copies within 48 hours.<br />

Wilfred P. of Brooklyn failed to send out his ten copies and<br />

woke the next morning to find his job description changed<br />

to "COBOL programmer." Howard L. of Newport News sent<br />

out his ten copies and within a month had enough hardware<br />

to build a 100−node Beowulf cluster dedicated to playing<br />

xbill. Amelia V. of Chicago laughed at this letter and<br />

broke the chain. Shortly thereafter, a fire broke out in her<br />

terminal and she now spends her days writing documentation<br />

for MS Windows.<br />

Don't break the chain! Send out your ten copies today!<br />

Courtesy 'NIX "fortune cookies", with some alterations and<br />

many apologies<br />
