  1. You guys at Slash can prop up LINUX all you want by zymano · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    BUT linux is not all that. It's a Unix clone and not a great one at that. It's just decent. What about all those security holes ? Seems to be getting slower year by year. It was never built for security. It's a clone OS and not anything revolutionary like PLAN 9. BSD is the better os.

    you bsd facts are pure bs. BSD is reliable and more secure than clonelinux. Netcraft facts are meaningless since bsd is not forced onto people like microshit. Linux is used by nontechnical people that don't know better. linux=security hole. Not the future
