IBM Wants Linux

jsse writes "In a news conference IBM's senior vice president Steve Mills said 'the company will gladly drop its version of Unix from servers and replace it with Linux if the software matures so that it can handle the most demanding tasks.' Now the Giant, along with many other companies, jump to Linux bandwagon. The question is wether this bandwagon is capable of carrying a Giant that huge. Or the question is: can Linux beats AIX?"

  Wether or not it cans, it is obvious that cmdrtaco is a pervert. Think Knoqueror: his preferred browser.
  
  *Hint for the unobservant: wether is from this article.

What a lovely steaming pile of feces. I really wish Slashdot had a (Score: -1, Incorrect) for you...or maybe just -1, Retarded. Please think for speaking, perhaps doing some research first.

I'm not sure if you're stupid or dillusional but that is one of the most incorrect things I've ever read. Do you actually know anything about processor design or are you talking out of your ass?
