Why would you ever want to play Suicide Linux? Well, it's certainly not
practical, but it makes more sense as a game than as an actual operating
system. See how many days you can make it without erasing all your files! Hell,
I probably wouldn't even be able to survive Suicide Mac OS X for more than a week
(sometimes I flub my Quicksilver commands when I'm tired, okay?!), so Suicide
Linux sounds to me like a test invented by an overdramatic movie villain. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I couldn't find an actual download of a
Suicide Linux distro, but it seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to create
... especially for someone who could use it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
