Mistaking them for handing out samples, Butt-head takes their candy and slams the door in their faces, and soon their father takes it back and beats them up, too. They decide to go out and trick-or-treat, but are dismissed twice for not wearing costumes. Beavis puts his underwear over his head and calls himself a nad. Butthead pours cheese all over himself and calls himself Nachos. They approach Anderson's house, who is about to dissmiss them when his old friend calls, and he leaves his living room. Beavis and Butthead go inside, where Beavis eats all of the candy in the candy bowl, transforming into Cornholio. Anderson comes back and kicks them out, and when another trick-or-treater comes to Anderson's door, Anderson yells at him, mistaking the child for Beavis and Butthead. Beavis and Butthead then wander down the streets until Todd nearly hits and beats up Beavis. Todd then puts Butt-head in the trunk of his car and drive to the Country and drops him off on the Crazy Farmer's farm. Beavis, wandering around, eventually winds up at the Country, and meets the crazy farmer, who is digging a hole. Beavis is next shown hanging from a meat hook. Just then a zombified Butt-head and the crazy farmer walk in. They both pull out chainsaws and Slaughter Beavis. |

Revision as of 21:46, 29 January 2012
What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
