Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads

Posted by timothy on from the can-this-really-be-true dept.

One of the funnier myths perceived to be true is that 'Microsoft's technical support is the best in the industry and is superior to that offered by the Linux community.' It just goes to show how little real world experience students have. It's a bit disturbing considering they will be the next generation of technology workers."

    The difference being the Forbes error was due to oversized data being entered into a char() field in SQL Server, i.e. a user error (showing Forbes's ass) whereas the MySQL error was a system error (showing MySQL/Linux's ass). Your post was a user error (showing your ass).
