Install X/Y

Why do you think this is so funny?

Do you think it's funny cause it's a play on an (as apparent to you) nonsensical phrase GNU/Linux?

Do you think it's funny because BSD and Gentoo aren't very popular, and require a lot of effort to maintain, so you think programmers use it cause programmers like things like this?

I am an expert programmer, and a Lisp wizard. I do not particularly care about UNIX politics, and view all current operating systems as retarded. However, I do like the GNU approach to UNIX (although not necessarily the reality) the most out of all the other approaches from a technical stand point.

Maybe you think installing these operating systems is a difficult act that only strange programmers would participate in.

I do not understand why you think ``install BSD/Gentoo'' is so amusing. Why do you place it everywhere?

Keep in mind a lot of great Lisp programs are lost.

Mirai was used to e.g. animate Golem in Lord of the Rings, and develop Mario 64, but due to legal battles over who owned the programs died. The precursor to it (S-graphics) was used in the 80s widely in the television industry.

Genera was an entire operating system.

Entire machines were built especially to run Lisp, from the Fujitsu Facom Alpha to the Symbolics 3600. Apple developed a wide variety of software in Macintosh Common Lisp from Dylan to Sk8 to finders.

Microsoft prototyped Word on the Mac in Common Lisp.

I can go on and on...
