Leo Laporte On UNIX As the Future

TractorJector writes "In a well-written interview with Mad Penguin, techmeister Leo Laporte (formerly of G4/TechTV fame) discusses his vision of the future of proprietary and open platforms: 'I think there's a lot of hope for Linux, although I don't think that Linux is the answer. I think that UNIX is the answer, in some form or fashion. It might be BSD, it might be Linux, it might be some third thing. But UNIX is such a well understood and smart to handle the issues that an operating system has to handle that it ultimately will prevail.'"

Re:Unix is not the Future

Very interesting, very insightful comments...unfortunately we've been hearing the exact same thing for the past 20 years. You're basically regurgitating what the pundits and "experts" have been saying forever. We've yet to see any of these things....

That's my thoughts anyway. Sometime in the near future, I'll get them blogged down in detail. :-)

No, these are not your thoughts. These are the ideas from about a 1000 different people over the years that have been saying the same things. It's bad when you have to take the work or ideas from others and switch them around to try to make them your own.

You offer nothing new here...move along.
