Microsoft has historically ‘utilized’ the “BSOD”, better known as the “Blue Screen of Death.” Now, in their upcoming version of Windows, (codename Longhorn), there is the “RSOD”, which is a red screen of death. I lifted this image from http://joi.ito.com/RedScreen.jpg and mirrored it locally:
In other news, this site was again upgraded, running Fedora Core 4 Test 3 and updated development and test packages, and WordPress was updated to 1.5.1. Just for you ‘inquiring minds’ because I know that you wanted to know.

mmm… what a geekalicious entry!
It’s always good to change it up a little. Especially when you’ll be seeing screens like this so often :)
Actually though, it says “SPACE=Continue” at the bottom, whereas the BSOD was usually fatal, right?
I guess you’re right Anthony, it might allow you to try to continue, but since it says that the boot manager had a problem, I don’t know how much further ‘continue’ might bring you.
I’m starting to wonder if the different color alerts are like the Terror Alert System. Like green is only a slight error, blue, yellow and orange are moderate errors and red is a really bad error like your computer is going to explode.
I’m glad Linux is free of any ‘SODs’. A kernel panic is still white text on a black background, the last time I saw one. :)
