I was not commenting on any particular topic, merely pointing out that that Ralf (I think) said there are some things that Linux "does not allow" and you answered this with a post referring to things that Linux "can't" do and the two things are not the same. I also stated that things that Linux will not allow are generally security related. Is any of that untrue?
