    Hi Bintara,

    Might I suggest that you will eventually come round to my way of thinking?

    You will use whatever the guy who will sign your pay check wants you to use?

    /Me I mostly use windows or expensive unix distributions............my cats get fed on a regular basis............and do not have to hunt for their food?............if that needs doing I will take care of it?

    Theory is fine, economics is reality

    cheers

    I started with AIX, then moved on to SCO (no comment!!!), then Sun Solaris.............I do not actually have a "favourite".....like I said...you use what you are given?

    I know that I may seem terribly mercenary and all that, but companies buy computing to run the business.....not for me to have fun?

    cheers

    You know eventually someone is going to make an OS that BSD/UNIX/LINUX users will all agree on and say, "Yeah that is a good OS" instead of "Well it is a good OS, but..."

    Either that or there is eventually going to be a crazy jihad and there will be millions of dead open-source programmers as well as Unix gueriila groups and Linux terrorist organizations.

    Either that or just a whole lot of forum flame.

    That, along with the DDoS... Today is not SCO's day...
    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
