Linux King gets Damaged

There was a boy who lived, tought GNU/Linux and inspired a lot of juniors to learn Linux. He was a person talked about in the college for Linux. Whenever someone had some problem with Linux , "Ask him!"

It happened that this boy wrote a software for the college which maintains a record of the list of songs that a shoutcast server plays. After sometime the boy got really busy in Kuldtpi that he had to give this server to someone else. And people volunteer to handle this server, and there was a final year among them.

Location : LRSL, Rhythm(178.1.3.205 :) )
Time : Just after class is over (4-5PM)

Final Year:Hello Boy, I am final year! I want to handle this rhythm server.
Boy: Oh.. Like... what do you want.. Like.. what do you want to do with the server?
Final Year:(Blinks) I want to add new songs and maintain the server
Boy: Like.. the software is already done. Like..You just have to upload the new songs. Okay?
FY: Ok. No problem.
Boy:Like.. do you want the server now?
FY:Not the server, but an account in the server would be fine.
Boy:(Laughs as if it was a great joke) Yeah, I mean the same thing.

FY drags a chair and sits near the sheeplike-boy. Boy tries to do something using the keyboard. FY sees the screen and keyboard as if some wonder is going to happen. Boy opens a browser and opens the server page, which has the boy's software.

Boy goes to the admin login page. Types the username and password. Invalid UserId/Password says the computer. FY watches the Boy's face. Boy looks up as if he is thinking something or coining a new password. Boy types something again in the login box. Invalid UserId/Password. Boy goes to the database admin and changes the password manually. FY is still watches with silence.

Finally Boy sets a new password. Logs in (Successful). Now he shows the software with a pride. He clicks on all the links and shows to FY. FY watches everything without any special reaction. He clicks on one of the link to add a new language. He illustrates the versatility of his software by adding a new language. He types "Hindi" in the language box. Write Failed. No write permission in the given folder. Boy blinks. Looks outside the window, looks up.

Boy:I'll fix this. I'll give you an account first.
FY: Ok. No probs.

He opens the add new user option and adds a new user
Boy: (Finally something is working) Here is your username and password...
FY: Thanx!, but how do I login.
Boy: Let us go to user lab.
FY:Ok
(Both of them move to windwos lab)

Boy:(logs in and opens a new run window and types the share: Share access denied)
Boy:(Shit!)
Boy:Like.. there is a small problem in the system. I'll tell you as soon as it gets fixed. Give me your number.
FY:(Puzzled) Ok, take my number, 98xxxxxx

After this meeting, Boy didn't meet FY at all. FY met another FY in his batch, who referred him to meet Boy.

AFY: Hey, you asked Boy about Rhythm?
FY : Yes, I asked him.
AFY: And?
FY : Boy could have installed the program in windows itself.
AFY : Why da?
FY : Poor guy, he didn't know how to use Linux
AFY : Wha?!! (Gasping)
FY : Yeah, he was stumbling and mumbling that day and he asked me to come some other day
AFY : Hey, you met the right person or some one else. That guy is GOD in Linux (lol)
FY : Fuck you. He doesn't know anything. He just types some three commands again and again in the terminal.

Since then Boy is seen running to find a place to hide whenever FY was nearby :)
