  1. Better than Apple ... by gus+goose · · Score: 0, Troll

    At least the linux kernel is fixed before I was aware of the problem ... and I am normally close on the heals of the latest kernel.

    Apple on the other hand released their partition destroying software and let it run rampant for weeks.

    Heh.



    Do you still have a job? You don't deserve to.



    If this loser was for real, I'd have to agree...I have to think that this is some guy who's either a *BSD nut or sitting in an office in Redmond somewhere.



    Either way, let that be a lesson to everyone: don't use new releases for production machines! That doesn't go for just Linux, either.

  3. I'm glad that linux has a stable & dev kernel! by duffbeer703 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Oh, wait, 2.2.whatever was the last stable kernel!

    Glad I use AIX & Solaris at this job! Kernel upgrades on 150 servers is a pain in the ass.
