    Ok, I knew /. was getting less and less computer literate.

    But if you don't fucking know basic UNIX process control, don't talk about computers, or IT, k?

    Seriously, this isnt even Computers 101. This is the bullshit you're expected to know to take Computers 101.

    "Not every slashdot reader is a Unix guru." Probably a lot less than you think.

    Seriously, if i wanted to see lame articles on linux basics I would go to digg. Can we please stick to the news, people?

    I thought that the slashdot community was supportive of people migrating away from windoze to the linux world. We are supportive of people migrating away from windows. The slashdot community has done a lot to spread ubuntu. But none of that makes TFA news. This is 'stuff that matters', but I think if you've gotten to the point where TFA's content is helpful, you will already know how to find that information. When I want to have a lively discussion about a "dead-horse" historical issue, even one related to the design of my computer's OS, I will seek it out. Elsewhere.

    If this topic had been brought up as an "ask slashdot" question, it would probably have yielded a far more interesting discussion.
