I want to stand and bear my testimony that I know that linux is true, and SCO is evil.
Seriously, there are just some things about Linux that make it a dream to work with. Of course I do have an employee that can do the same thing to windows (reinstall, merge the registry back in, merge the files in windows/system back in, and make it run), but that involves more voodoo magic than actual procedure. Linux runs quite fine without voodoo (notwistanding Evan's voodoo doll which clearly didn't "bless" his Linux server this time around. I guess it was blessed to keep out software bugs more than hardware, though, so maybe it's still working...). On Sun, 2003-09-14 at 20:28, Evan McNabb wrote: > Wow. I just had a crazy experience.
