How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare

Posted by Hemos on from the fixing-the-problem dept.

The article points out that since Apple has managed to build a quite usable system on top of NetBSD, it should be doable to do the same for open-source interfaces."

    I never thought I'd see "Linux" and "streamline" in the same sentence.

    I'm sorry, but fuck you, you obnoxious arrogant AC. Don't be a fucking language lawyer. I'm talking about making one XML spec that pleases everyone as a registry. Yes, this would be a DTD, good for you.

    By the way, you asshole, DTDs aren't mandatory. I can create and parse an XML document quite fine without knowing its DTD. Do YOU know XML?

    What a fuck head.
