Hi guys I recently installed red hat 7 (about my 10th install 3rd distro) and am finally happy with the install.

I read LNO most everyday and have had a lot of help come from here, thanks guys.

While reading posts I keep comming across things like

fscking and all your basees are belong to us

what do these mean? what are they?

I originally thought that fscking was used as a form of cencorship on the board but soon figured out thats not the case.

fsck (file system check) a linux tool to check/repair your hard drive. It's also used in place of a common (slang) 4-letter-word. As in: "Go fsck yourself" Replace the 's' in fsck with a 'u' and you should get the picture. AYBABTU, is an old meme that's been spreading (rather quickly) via the web, et al. Do a google (http://www.google.com) search and you should get all the history you need to about AYBABTU.
