"Original" Linux Outlaws

Postby johnhunt on 14 May 2009, 06:58

Hi everyone,

I was just typing /j #linuxoutlaws, but accidently joined the chan on quakenet... much to my surprise, there were a few people there (including one guy I know from #webdev on quakenet.) He told me there used to be another linux outlaws pre-dating these outlaws.

Just out of curiosity, I wondered if anyone knew anything about this? Sounds interesting.

Cheers,
John.

Wow, I haven't heard of that :shock: I suppose the name is one that other people could have come up with before us, I expected that. What did they do, any idea? Was it a podcast? I did a lot of searches around our name when we started off but couldn't really find anything at the time. Good to know though, thanks for passing it on.

Would the real Linux Outlaws please stand up? :lol:

Like I say, I was just curious.

It's likely that it was just the name of the channel on Quakenet and not much else.

Either way, you're the only outlaws I need in my life! Hoorah.

Right, time for a coffee.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that if it did exist it was probably a gaming clan or something.

A small organization attempting to generate capitol by stealing live CD's from magazine printers and selling them at a slight markdown. Wonder how well they did.
