You got to love todays neal stephenson's quote
"The single most useful thing about the Internet is
that it facilitates using Linux"
(http://www.time.com/time/digital/daily/0,2822,46833,00.html)
which reminds me that everyone should read his hilarious
"In the Beginning was the Command Line"
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/stephenson.html
where among other things he compares linux vs the rest
as tanks vs car. Giving rise to the unforgettable dialogue
of a tank salesman with customers...
(paraphrased)
Hacker with bullhorn: "Save your money! Accept one of
our free tanks! It is invulnerable, and can drive
across rocks and swamps at ninety miles an hour while
getting a hundred miles to the gallon!"
Buyer: I don't know how to maintain a tank!"
Bullhorn: "If you accept one of our free tanks we will send
volunteers to your house to fix it for free while
you sleep!"
Buyer: "Stay away from my house, you freak!"
