[Robert L. Harris]

Converting from Unix to Linux is one thing.  Non-Windows bashing each
other shouldn't happen.  I spent 11 years Admin'ing sun and now at my
second job that actually used Linux in production.  Both work as long as
they're used for the right things, etc etc.  It's when BSD/Linux/Sun etc
start hacking on each other as sub-par, misfits, etc that we start to
look bad and big, pretty Micro$oft starts to look good.



Thus spake Chris Ricker (kaboom at gatech.edu):
