The 90s were a weird time. RedHat Linux had the option to install os using the "redneck" language.

@Ste1lar @deavmi we can probably find an old ISO and rip it, add it back and fill in the gaps where needed. We can call it John Deere Linux

@deavmi @nixcraft Behave, a Python package for BDD, allows changing the language for "Given", "Then", "When", and one of the languages is "Pirate": github.com/behave/behave/blob/

(There is a bunch, including an emoji language)

@deavmi @nixcraft My favourite still is "Scouse", though: github.com/behave/behave/blob/

```
Youse know when youse got a test
An the test is broken
Youse know like when you run the test
Den youse gotta a broken test
```

... or something like that :p

@deavmi @nixcraft I've used RedHat 3.x to 6.2 and I do not recall this, but it is fun to look at. Having said that, regarding the "big" Linux distros in that time, I would expect jokes like this only from Pat ":^) Slackware" Volkerding, and then only in txt based announcements. :)
