This thing's making the rounds again? Granted, it was a good test, but I've already done it on a bunch of sites, including this one I believe. I came out as Slackware.

Debian is good, it gets the job done without enfringing on your right to do whatever you want. But it's still just like any other Linux distrabution.

Sim, you need to take the block of code it gives you, which is in HTML, and translate it into BBCode. This basically consists of figuring out which part of the mush is the URL for the picture and then putting that in an [ img ] tag.
