The OS was created in the early 1990s by a Scandinavian teenager named Eunus, a play on Linux kernel architect [[wp:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]]. Eunux's mascot is Sux the Sea Cucumber, which parodies Linux's mascot [[wp:Tux|Tux the Penguin]]. Like the real-life OS, Eunux is available in several distributions, including RedTwat, Ucuntu, Slackcrack, and Knobbix, which are parodies of [[wp:Red_Hat_Linux|Red Hat]], [[wp:Ubuntu_(operating_system)|Ubuntu]], [[wp:Slackware|Slackware]], and [[wp:Knoppix|Knoppix]], respectively. The website makes fun of the misconception that Linux is a difficult operating system to learn. Eunux is considered the male-only world of open source software and discourages females from using the OS. Eunux is also a word pun on "eunuchs", or castrated individuals. | ||
There are internet news articles talking about a young woman in [[Alderney City]] that was discovered to have installed the open source operating system. The Eunux community has launched a hate campaign against her. | There are internet news articles talking about a young woman in [[Alderney City]] that was discovered to have installed the open source operating system.
