The moé self-help books just don’t stop coming. It has been scientifically proven that anything with the word “moé” or “tsundere” in its title will sell like hotcakes.

From Akiba-blog: Enter 「ツンデレ☆りãªã£ãã™ã€ or “Tsundere Linux”, a book that supposedly teaches you about the famous open source operating system in a totally moélicious manner. It even has a cute abbreviation ã‚‚ãˆã‚Šãª (moerina).

The book apparently covers various topics such as getting cheap second hand computers, explanations of the various distros and installation procedure for Debian, Firefox and 2ch browser. And a tsundere girl. Don’t forget the tsundere girl.
They totally need to make one of these for Cisco networking, the most goddamn boring topic in the world.
Figures, Linux is the most tsundere os out there -_-
True, true…
I’d buy one for C++! God knows I need a lot of help with that to pass my current semester.
Oh man. Before I went to an art school I study a little of networking and CISCO’s such a bitch. If they a a moe guide to CISCO networking, I’ll probably never leave IT school for Art school.
it’s a interesting name.
so fit…
That book, if translated, will save a lot of people in my career.
Let the translations begin!
You know, I couldn’t help but think how silly an idea that was until you mentioned how there ought to be a CISCO edition. Then I said to myself “Hey, I would read that!”
And I need to know who first decided that “Linux” should be written in hiragana. Something about it just seems… wrong.
Muahahaha, now you understand the hell that we went through last year doing all that crap on Cisco. Well, it’s really easy to score for that topic though, if you know what you are doing \o/
Ah well~ I still wanna go to an arts school but this is quite cool.
That’s awesome. Makes me want a copy and it’d help me a lot in using Linux. If only there were other ones for like programming and so forth.
I’d bet if you turn a guide book with a ‘moe’ type of theme it would sell probably. I’m sure if they did that with all the other books such as stuff for photoshop, macromedia flash, modding PSPs and PS2 >.> and all that fun stuff it would sell and hell I’d sure buy it over the original version just so I can have more fun watching characters point out stuff then a stupid arrow and circle *hopefully*
Fuck.
I could sure use a bit of help, since I’m building a new computer and all… …
I’m hoping there’s a Moe Java guidebook. With the cast of Tsukihime doing explanation as befits their personalities. ‘Twould make a very interesting read. And a moe HTML guidebook, moe C++, moe A+ certification, moe SQL guidebook… … …
Shouldn’t there be a moe murder guidebook somewhere? And moe Japanese guidebooks, LAWL.
Tsundere is a much better match for Linux than moe. It’s more “user surly” than “user hostile” and once tamed is quite nice and friendly.
I guess I’m not he first one to notice how Linux and Anime go together.
@burrowowl:
True, true.
Tsundere Linux sounds like a name for a Linux distro. The sort of distro that would choose Lolifox over Firefox.
I’m pretty sure this would be some kind of unholy fusion but… If someone can somehow combine anime with formal software engineering and the B Method. I think I might actually be able to learn something this semester. =(
That aside, this book looks rad. I’d like a copy even if it’s only for my own amusement.
Actually, I thought of Tsundere Linux as being initially really freaking hard to use…and then it gets easier and easier to command.
Oh, wait, that’s basically every damn version of Linux there is.
One for cisco would be a huge plus… I haven’t been bogged down with so much tedious information in my life… wait, why am I still taking it :S
I’d hate to see what happens if one forgets to sudo in Tsundere Linux.
At first I thought it was a distro, then I was like: crap I have to install this straight away! Screw Arch Linux! It’s probably going to have ./configure output decorated full with ascii art of cute girls or something… or perhaps Haruhi replacing the firefox logo… and think of the good wallpapers I’d be able to copy from that!
But I guess that’s not going to happen.
