systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems
(www.phoronix.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love this! Not only for the comedic value, but throwing kernel oopses on-screen when they can't be easily captured when unprepared would be of great help in solving system problems. Unlike the cryptic messages Windows displays, Linux kernel messages are quite useful.
Isn't this the default behavior of all(?) modern *nix init? Maybe not SysV, i don't know.
Is it? I've been on Debian/Ubuntu since 2005 and I've never seen anything on-screen whenever I've gotten a kernel oops.
They use Systemd, so there.
