\nPCjacking is the act of putting a Linux Live CD in a public computer, such as one located in a department store or public library, and rebooting it into Linux. The reason for this is to show people that Windows isn’t the only operating system available and that there are alternatives. PCjacking does not damage the hijacked PC and does not alter any settings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Some more digging around revealed that these crazy guys have got 696 Diggs<\/a>! These fanatics are using a Knoppix Live CD and have got a website<\/a> to their assistance. According to them, this is an opportunity for them to let people know about other Operating Systems than Windows.<\/p>\n
They also advise people to try this stunt but let me warn you. Do not. Out of all the things this in-your-face attitude can do to you, getting chased and beaten up is the most probable of them.<\/p>\n
