You must spread your AntiPoints around before giving it to RoadClosed again.
That is one of the bests post I have read for a while. You should consider a tutorial at some stage if you have the time!
I especially like the edit - MS do produce things for free every now and again!

I don't see the point in rehashing this arguement over and over again. "WINDOWS IS BETTER MAN!" "NO WAY! LINUX RULES THE EARTH!" "WHATEVER, WE ALL KNOW BSD OWNS THE UNIVERSE!". Who cares what Microsoft runs on their systems anyways? Besides, take a gander at this:

Sure, it's only a $0.2 billion difference, but it still has Windows in the lead.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Windows is better, or Linux is better, or UNIX is better, or *insert OS here* is better. I use Linux on my servers, and I've used Windows on my servers. They both do the job, and they're both can secure. In the end, what does it matter who runs what? My advice: Use whatever the hell you want to use, who cares what the fool beside you says.

PS. Sorry I've I'm a little ticked off... Canada lost to Russia 2-0... damn.

This wasn't supposed to be a what's better thread. It was turned into one.
Oh and by the way:
Germany took 1st place the other night ;)
OK looked up WSUS. YAST can do that if you wanted it too..... Now I can't even think of who asked me to check for them, but yes YAST can do this for you. You'd have to set it up but it would probably take less time.
"Windows Server Update Services server: The server component that is installed on a computer running a Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 (SP4) or Windows Server 2003 operating system inside the corporate firewall. Windows Server Update Services server provides the features that administrators need to manage and distribute updates through a Web-based tool, which can be accessed from Internet Explorer on any Windows computer in the corporate network. In addition, a Windows Server Update Services server can be the update source for other Windows Server Update Services servers."
Ahh, that's why it's free, you have to use Windows Server OSs.... Lol wow. Couldn't they make it run on XP alone? you have to buy Windows Server for it to work.....
Lol, Gore, it is a network admin tool - you are going to need a server OS to use it to its full potential. You would struggle to find a half decent network that soley runs XP.
So Every OS has it's use except none server versions???? ;)
YAST however does work on any Linux and even... Well you could recompile it for BSD, but it's GPLd now so you can use it on anything you want.
gore you know me and SuSE are tight. Got 15 SuSE servers. Yast can't touch it dude.
*Pouty face*
How come YOU get to play with those ....
OH.. OH... Raises Hand...
Can't _possibly_ resist this.... AT ALL...
'Cos he has a job!!!!!!!
Sorry... Cruel and unusual and all that....
Just too much for me to resist... I'm an utter bitch.... :D
A 20 minute drive and my webcam could prove that.Quote:
And how is "Cause he has a job" somehow at me? My job is here, it may not make me drive a great car but I don't owe out anything right now.

Hey gore, the next best thing to 15 SuSE servers is a subscription to one of the British Linux magazine. The Brits have the B E S T computer magazines hands down. American mags are RUBBISH.

Hold on I just saw this. Open source and gpl to me are NOT the same. Sure they are both open source, but companies were stealing open source and packaging it into proprietary software and licensing it. Open source does not prevent that. There is no inherent restriction anyone can use it and do anything they want. GPL does have restriction. With GPL any free open source software distributed using the GNU license must remain free and ANY software using ANY part of the GPL code MUST remain free of any fees. I can see why MS would not want to use it. They could NOT charge or license their services.Quote:
GPL (and others like it) are what make Open Source--Open Source. How can Microsoft have a problem with the GPL and not have a problem with Open Source? They may or may not like the quaility of LInux, but it seems from some of their past statements, they have made criticisms of the FOSS model.
Linux IS growing but beware numbers. I don't know where those come from but say windows has 100 units with a 4 percent growth. That would be a growth of 4. Linux has 20 with a 20 percent growth on the same scale. That means Linux also grew by 4.
Don't you HATE math? :p
It's still 104 to 24. But add in millions and then billions. No it does not change the growth, just adds perspective. And to add the twist that article places windows on top.
