Three Enterprise Operating Systems Compared

Anonymous Coward writes "Finally, a much awaited review of enterprise OSes. The guys from NW Test Alliance pitted Red Hat, UnitedLinux, and Windows against each other and rated them on several rubrics. Red Hat won by a slight margin on the basis of its high hardware compatibility and strong security integration."

    You'd think that the United Federation of Planets would pick one and stick with it...

      Yeah, I know. The triple-boot scenario is a real pain too. The Romulans show up, start firing on us, and we're like "Quick. Fire photon torpedoes!" And, well, sadly the photon torpedo driver is closed source and no one's reverse-engineered one for Linux yet, so we have to sit there and take a pounding while the damn ship boots Windows 2349 Starship Edition.

      A real pain, let me tell you.

      You know, you had me wondering WTF you were talking about for 5 minutes until I reread the title of the story. You fucking geeks really take the cake don't you. Are you that idiotic that you don't understand Enterprise Operating Systems are for large corporations?

      Well, perhaps you should read the article before the comments.

      anyway, let me explian... The comment was what we referred to as a "Joke". This is a deliberately nonsensical comment designed to provoke mirth. By misinterpreting the word "Enterprise", as the starship in the well known Science fiction Series "Star Trek".

    SLASHDOT GUY: Well among others you definitely missed 82.

    ME: Thank you for the valuable information.
