Linux Support Services Shoot-out and Analysis

Posted by michael on from the fast-busy dept.

securitas writes: "ZDNet has posted a huge article comparing and analyzing 12 Linux support services. It's 19 pages long plus tables! Happy reading!" Useful stuff, since a lot of companies want to make sure they've got someone to call if things go wrong.

      How about just nuking everybody outside of the US? You know.. just to be on the safe side. Still leaves the problem of people like McVeigh, etc.. so I guess all white people should be killed as well.

      Point is: how does your 'kill them all' argument make you any better than them? Obviously not all of 'them' are out to get *you* - it's only a handful of extremists that do the damage and I think it's wise to focus your anger on them, instead of generalizing.

      What happened is bad, very bad. There are also many secondary bad effects, starting with the extreme paranoia and xenophobia that you have displayed.

      All in all, it's something that makes one very sad. I suggest you don't further contribute to the madness that started it, but end it instead.

    Ok so we all know that what happened in this country on Tuesday was a heinous act of cowards and that we should seek them out and bring them to justice. Not all Muslim, Islamic, or Arab people were responsible. We do not even know for sure that it was some one of Islamic background. Remember in this wonderful country of ours we believe all people to be innocent until proven guilty. It appears very likely that some one of Islamic descent is behind these attacks and we as a country will seek vengeance. It is however morally irreprehensible to blame an entire people for the misgivings of a small percentage of the population comprised of extremists. This is the same as calling for the death of all Christians because of the KKK.
