    googlinux?

    This is probably old new to must linuxlovers out there, but maybe it's new to some or at least the new linux users, so here goes:

    Google has a special feature, when you go to

    http://www.google.com/linux

    you can do googles that will yield nothing but linux-related results. Gotta love this kind of stuff

    And GoogleMac
    http://www.google.com/mac

    The linux one has been an occasional godsend for me for a little over a year now.

    A search for "hillbilly" on Google/linux yields 534 results.
    An impressive amount.

    A challenge!

    Find a single, non-capitalized word which can be found at www.m-w.com that produces the fewest number of hits greater than one from www.google.com/linux when displaying results from any language.

    "defenestrate" - 50 hits

    (btw - did you know that you can have Google display tips and messages in Bork, bork, bork!, the language of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets)

    You left out 'Hacker', 'Pig Latin', 'Elmer Fudd' and 'Klingon' when you mentioned the languages pentachris. Shame on you!
