Linux sucks?!? Pssssshhhh.
I'd like to see the author of that run some of the things that run on Linux/Unix on Windows 2000 or XP. A personal example I can contend with is running MUDs. ( And here come the flames! ;) ). I've ran muds on both Linux/Unix servers and on Windows. Windows running applications that must make many connections gobbles up so much memory that my computer started sounding like my Grandfather. "Who's in the what where?" Also, let's see a Univeristy have 100 to 10000+ students check email daily on Windows 2000.
....I choose you Blue Screen of Death!....
(Sorry for the Pokemon reference. My sister has it on in the background.)
Linux sucks?? hmmmm.... don't think so.
In the modern world about 98.999% of people have no friggin clue about computers, software, programming etc. For them Linux would suck because it requires horrible things like reading the instructions and understanding what you are doing.
How can we be so cold as to make something that any mongo retard can't just click, click, click, click and do whatever without any clue at all.
98.99999% is a lot (used to be 99.99999%) of people. People who cringed in fear back in the DOS days prior to Windows at the site of a computer. The real problem is that we have enabled a world full of morons to use very sofisticated machines and software with all of this user friendly crap. User friendly == "I want to look like I know what I am doing without understanding any of it, and GOD NO, please don't make me read anything."
Ok I will calm down a little. I guess there are bound to be those loyal to the evil empire and rhetoric.
Hmmmm..... I wonder if they are running IIS .....?
Linux doesn't Suck...if it did, it would be made by microsoft
Although I am a beginner user of Linux, I have seen better results using linux on an old junker (200+ mhz, 32 meg of 72 pin SIMMS, old Cirrus Logic PCI video card) than on my Windows machine running at 500 mhz with 192 meg of SDRAM.
Another thing...who here has seen linux crash??? Not me...not even once!
LINUX DOESN'T SUCK!
Plain and Simple.
So :fart: on those who think Linux sucks.

Well Ive ran Linux for going on 6 years and I can count on one hand How many times it has crashed.. Windows on the other had I crash about 15 times a day :P So that is another reason I use *Nix.

I've never seen linux crash except when the whole computer went down which was caused by a lightning strike. I agree that we have given everyday Joe's highly advanced software and the ability to use it with a "click-click-click." This brings alot of pro's and con's into the picture. Pros are people can be more productive then ever. Cons are the breeding of script kiddies, morons crashing thousands of dollars of equipment, etc. No one takes the time to figure out why something works. With Linux and Unix you have to have an understanding of what you are doing. Would you drive a car if you had no clue what an engine or alternator was? Some people do! (No offense to those who are car-illiterate). Unix/Linux is like people driving around who moderatly know what to do when their car breaks down on the side of the road. Windows is for those people who have to push the wretched OnStar button. ;)
