The guy was obviously some kind of complete moroon that new how to run
only his own little set of programs on NT and thought he was great.
I must admit I thought the bit about installing all the CD's was great.
I can just imagine him looking at the screen listing the packages and
saying, "I don't know what any of this is, I just install it all."
hehehe. "Ah it's taking ages. I bet the 6 CD install of SuSe 6.2 still
took about half as long as a Win2kRC2 install. I left that thing running
for about an hour it think. And that's 1 CD.
Anyway, I'm sure all the equally intelligent NT admins will agree
entirely with what he has to say, even if they've never installed it or
not.
