A hard look at Linux

[caddmannq]

I would rather have both my eyes painfully poked out then to use Linux.

No problem.

I'll work you into the "Harvey: Private Hamster" thread.

I'm certain we can arrange for something really painful.

PS: A good read, guys. (The Linux article, I mean..."Harvey" is a little silly by comparison, of course! )

Don't bother, he is a known troll from sysopt. He'll go away eventually.

...a known troll...

Hey! Thanks for the idea! I wasn't certain just who Harvey's next victim would be

[CMonster]

hehehe... Since the number of Linux servers on the Internet is about 27%, and it is the fastest growing operating system, does this mean he'll be cutting himself off from the Internet sometime in the near future?

BTW, I thought this part of the article was particularly telling:

...the task is not easy, considering also that WINE must emulate Windows bug for bug to display identical behaviour.

Now that's dedication: Linux programmers forcing themselves to write Windows bugs into the code.

Only, unlike Microsquash coders, they can honestly claim: "It's not a bug...It's a feature!"

Good read.. I kind of enjoy working with Linux.
