Unix has several legitimate faults.

I don't know what I need your patience for. I didn't ask you for
anything.
As for recompiling the kernel, why don't you ask the original poster
why he has been trying to do it. I'm sure it didn't just pop into his
mind spontaneously. Let me also quote Matt Welsh
from the O'Reilly book ``Running Linux'': ``Rebuilding the kernel sounds
like a pasttime for hackers, but it is an important skill for any system
administrator.''
Why do we need to rebuild the kernel? Because of a serious design flaw
in Linux according to which device drivers were embedded directly into
the kernel in a very sloppy and non-modular way. In the past few years
there has been a move towards loadable device drivers, an idea which
the rest of the world discovered sometime in the age of dinosaurs.
Remarkably, the issue is still being debated. You may have seen a much
publicized letter from Eric Raymond to Linus Torvalds a few months ago
in which Raymond ironically maintained that the only way Torvalds was
able to maintain such a poorly designed kernel was that he was a
`genius.'

I didn't say that all of the parameters are obscure, only about 200.
Some of them, like support for sound, are pointless. Others are
puzzling. Still others are troubling. And so on. They fall into
various categories.

Do you mean to claim that you can't get a kernel panic by doing the

I thought you said there was no reason to rebuild the kernel. Yours
worked the `first time,' so I suppose you've done this more than once.
Why?

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.

MacOS, Unix, and OS/2 all predate Windows.
Linux is not the product of the US. It is a product of the community
and Linus just happened to move to the US.
