You kaugh, but in some ways Linux is far, far behind MS products. This is mostly in the area of usability and stuff that "normal" people care about.

however, in the security and programming arena, Linux is far ahead with its implementation of things like non-root users for processes, non-root login accounts for regular users, environment variables and emacs.

definitely [bitch about spelling]

KDE 3.x is definatly professional grade. XFCE4 is definatly ready for the desktop.

Why is "definitely" so universally misspelled? I'm not busting this guy's balls or anything, I'm just curious why "definately" or "definatly" are how most people spell that word.

Would you call an unbounded line "infinate"?
