My Linux Hate....

2008-12-31 Thread Jonathan Katz
All, I think this is a specific SLES 10 init hate. I don't know if RHAT or other perversions do this. And as I write this out multiple hates are foaming in my brain... The software that my company makes, and that I install, support, and consult upon uses Oracle in the background. I know, this in
