While Mr. Katz view is put very eloquently put, it is extremely blinkered. The Post-Microsoft Age came with Linux? No it didn't. The majority of companies and individuals still use and purchase Microsoft products everyday. A huge proportion of web servers are still running NT and IIS and new major site running this technology come along everyday. Though it embitters me to say so, Microsoft will be the major OS player for a long time yet to come.
.heeses. That's what we call our stuff (We like cheese). We found that some cheeses are too long (parmesan, mozzarella), so we're now looking at short cheeses, ending up with tupi, lappi, brin and bra. You can tell a lot about a person by their choice of cheese. Easier to type you see. Odd balls go for things like slice and burger, partriots redleicester, cheshire etc all. And if you can't think of cheese go to www.cheese.com. Lots of cheeses for the cheesiest of occasion.
As for the man taking your machines - you can always edit your hosts file and give the machines your own name. Avoid the man. Start your own community.
'Corporate' names devoid the machines of identity and reduce them to what they really are - hunks of machinary. Nice names give personality and it becomes easier to know them.
1.0 components cores all over the shop. This is from the RedHat RPMS with a clean and patched RH5.2. Seems to a common problem with Linux software of late - it's rushed to make golden 1.0 and is still beta quality. Still, it's damn cool so I'll stick with it for the time being, as long as prolonged use doesn't drive me mad.
