Am I the only one who thought this thread was going to be about locating 'safe and clean' public toilets (bathrooms, washrooms, or whatever you may call them) ! I had to google 'linux toilets' to find the answer.

;D ;D ;D Tongue

It wasn't meant as criticism of the title, by the way! But it can be confusing, I wonder if was humour on the part of the OP. Maybe toilet is not understood in other languages but I discovered that it's a linux acronym.
