The red delicious is a metaphor for the U$D. This is the work of Bolsheviks advocating flight from the dollar toward a new reserve currency, concealed as harmless information. Eden's door is Exit Only. Run from this serpent.

Re:Linux Mint 16 “Petra” Xfce RC released on Tuesday December 10, 2013 @12:13PM (#6881944)
i try other distros but i always wind up back w/Xubuntu. so hard to beat. recent 13.10 upgrade on an old Inspiron 8600 is clearly faster than 11.04 it was previously running. what a concept ... OS version upgrades w/smaller resource footprint. Mint/Xfce sounds promising, i'll give it a shot this weekend on similar old hardware. will also try CrunchBang's "older hardware" version. but Xubuntu is the rock.

OP = attention whore
If you think his writing is bad, you should hear him talk. Excruciatingly dumbed-down drivel.
vulgarity can definitely be artful. this was not a case of it.
