Technical aspects that make Linux better than NT -- Is a list compiled somewhere?

1998-08-30 Thread Asher Haig
Is there a list somewhere that's compiled about technical reasons that 
Linux is better than NT? I'm interested as far as having good reasons to 
quickly list off to NT hacks. Not a matter of convincing _me_ -- just 
them. 

I'd appreciate either a url of somewhere that has a bunch of reasons or 
just a bunch of reasons. Either way.

Thanks.

It was like a visit by Don Carleone. I expected to 
find a bloody computer monitor in my bed the next day.

Take a look at:

http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt/

Not strictly Linux -- NT comparison, but still makes good reading.

Not exactly a list, but close in the wanted contents:

Go to the URL of http://www.golgotha.net/why_linux/index.html and take a look.  
At the
bottom of that page I reference several interesting studies/articles about the 
Linux
vs. NT debate.  In particular, John Kirch's observations at
http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt/ are quite good.
