Looking for a joke to play on your friendly neighbourhood geek? Fake Linux is a parody app that lets you pretend youve installed the GNU/Linux operating system on your iPhone - messages fly by as it boots up, it attempts to start an X server (and fails, as Linux sometimes likes doing) then drops you into a command prompt where you can run a wide number of fake commands by typing on the keyboard.
Please note: Fake Linux *is not really Linux*; dont get over-excited! Its just a parody that simulates part of the Linux environment with all its quirks. Long-time Linux users will get a kick out of trying to run Emacs and getting an out of memory error, or seeing the dreaded message "Failed to start X server" in ncurses. You can "run" ls, cat, man, kill, uptime, ps, ssh, reboot, free, df and many more common Unix commands.
The question is: how long will it take for your friends to figure out its not real? Find out for yourself - its the perfect prank for April Fools or any time you want to wind up a Unix geek!
