    Now you fucking Linux fags can stop slagging off Microsoft for violating standards, your own piece of shit pisses on them just as much.

    Damn, Slashdot moderation is screwed up. Joke post gets -1, post by clueless person who doesn't get the joke gets 5. Next time I go to the zoo I'm going to check the monkey house for chimpanzees with mod access

  4. MODS on CRACK again! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Once again, the deluded MODS who are in denail mode, really think Debian rules. I agree with the parent poster, he is truly correct with his opinon and just because it mentions debian, and sucks in the same paragraph the uninformed moderators mod it down without PROOF of why they did it. If the parent replaced Debian with windows it would be +5, funny and karma for everone. NOW REPEAT AFTER ME! DEBIAN IS A BAD DISTRO! Stop using the outdated kernel and make a 2.4 kernel default in the STABLE version (no, I don't CARE about unstable,sid, sarge or woody), and STOP SUCKING STALLMANS COCK! Debian sucks up to all stallmans silly demands. He is a overgrown baby that has tantrums, and debian is the one who alway give in.

    IF YOU BELIVE that Debian is a true discrase to the community, mod this UP, or if you wan't to stay in Fantasy land sucking off stallman, mod this DOWN.

    Actually none of these differences make a Linux box hard to integrate into a _network_.

    You apparently didn't comprehend the meaning of the post. Linux is different from standard Unix, and therefore a special case. If you have to do additional work just because Linux is different, its harder. What makes it even better is that so many of the changes are gratuitous.

    In fact, most of these changes make a linux box work better by default.

    No, they don't, they just make it work differently. The differences tend to be a pain. Things that are easy to do in standard Unix are harder in Linux because some things only work well, or at all, if you use some special Linux tool or procedure. That is neither better nor easier, its different and harder. Then there is the boatload of services that most Linux distributions include and start by default creating addition configuration pain, and security hazards. The icing on the cake is the random file system rearangement of the LSB from POSIX, and between Linux vendors, and release to release. (Where did this vendor put that file in this release?)

    Ask your Unix vendor to meet the LSB.

    I'll do you one better, I'll ask my Linux vendors to comply with the well know, widely honored POSIX standards which date from long before Linux was written. If you have a clue, you will to.
