This may or may not have been brought up on here before, but I wanted to take another look at it. This was done between 1991 and '92. A lot has changed since then and I'm just wondering if we can get a discussion going on how much of this actually matters anymore and if any of it is still true at least a little bit.

Not super long but quite a read.

This is not me running in to save another bunch of "Idiot's who just don't get it" so please do not assume I'm trying to stop someone from not liking Unix.

Personally I don't know what these dudes are smoking but for the last two years I've used Mainly BSD and Linux anda TINY bit of Solaris. And I can't find these problems.

Hell I useLinux mainly which is "inspired" from Sun's OS which is Unix, and none of these things seem to happen to me.

This OS os something I use daily all day long for just about all tasks. Seriously one of the things they brought up was how the editor Emacs would dissappear taking a days worth of work and,.... Seriously who here as EVER experienced that?
