Linux Users Anonymous, also known as Linux Anonymous, or LUA, or Keifer Sutherland, is a support group primarily for addicts of Linux-based operating systems, although the group has been known to accept BSD junkies, AIX drones, Amiga OS retrophiles, Solaris whores, PIX thumpers and BeOS diehards. In recent years great strides have been made in brewing some top notch coffee at the meetings and most meetings encourage a BYOB policy with more elicit medication use reaching high approval in the bathroom stalls.

  • Linux Users Anonymous, also known as Linux Anonymous, or LUA, or Keifer Sutherland, is a support group primarily for addicts of Linux-based operating systems, although the group has been known to accept BSD junkies, AIX drones, Amiga OS retrophiles, Solaris whores, PIX thumpers and BeOS diehards. The early days of LUA started with a 1960s government cover-up of computer scientists driven mad by the MULTICS operating system project. This institution for mentally insane geeks dwindled to a handful of core crackpots as the MULTICS fever slowly drove the CS's to suicide. But out of the ashes arrose Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy who while patients themselves developed a cure they called UNIX. Unfortunately their cure soon proved to be deadlier and more addictive than the original MULTICS and soon the outbreak reached the general public and spread from there. In 1991 a new and more powerful form of UNIX was created by Linus Torvalds who boiled down UNIX in a pot with water, gently rocking the boiling mixture to form large, hard crystals of almost pure geekdom that he called Linux. Over the next 15 years Linux spread among the geeks quickly infecting the uber's and then spreading to everyone else. Now LUA groups can be found everywhere fighting the growing pandemic. LUA's often work in conjunction with corporate sponsors that funnel money out of Redmond Washington to help the poor suffering souls. International groups are sometimes less fortunate and often find themselves selling off the less popular members into slavery to raise funds so that they may help other more popular fellow memberfree themselves from Linux addiction. In recent years great strides have been made in brewing some top notch coffee at the meetings and most meetings encourage a BYOB policy with more elicit medication use reaching high approval in the bathroom stalls.
