Linux Turns 17 Today
Meshach writes "Over at the Linux Journal, Doc Searles is noting that today marks 17 years since Linus posted to Usenet, starting Linux (post). As a Linux user at work and at home I say, thanks Linus!" The anniversary is also featured on the top page of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
That article was a POS. It's pretty much content-free.
Poorly researched. No explanation of what Linux really is. No real explanation of why it's come as far as it has.
Wikipedia looks comprehensive and accurate in contrast.

Google doesn't give a fuck about linux except for how it (Goog) can exploit it. Go ahead and say I'm flamebaiting, I'm not. It's true. Prove me wrong. You can't because I'm right.
Linux's daddy, Unix, is itself an ancient dinosaur that somehow escaped from a museum of the 20th century. Unix is the offspring of a bunch of aging and confused baby boomers who would not know a good OS if it kicked them in the gonads. Linux is woefully inadequate to the computing challenges of the 21st century. It solves neither the parallel programming crisis nor the reliability and productivity crises. It should be thrown into the trash bin of obsolete and lame technologies where Microsoft Windows and all the other hideous operating systems of the dark ages of computing will soon keep it company. Five or ten years from now, people will uncover the trash bin to take a look at how things used to be and their reaction will be, WTF!!??
It's time for /. computer nerds to grow up and stop worshiping crap. LOL.
and rms needs to get a haircut, shave and bath.
stfu noob go choke a dick
Yea, like multiple desktops actually works without bugs in Linux. I really hope they get Spaces fixed one of these days. Ever try using X apps with Spaces? Don't.
