    Besides, it's not the operating system that runs on 95% of available hardware, it's the drivers written by the companies creating said hardware.

    Microsoft has never been known for their coding prowess. Anyone with a memory longer than the lifespan of Firefly knows that.

    What the hell is a hot fix?
    I've heard this term used so much and it's driving me nuts. I've literally been yelled at by my manager because I can't tell him the number of hot fixes for "Linux", while I'm holding a breakdown of every security patch (rpm/deb/etc).

    WHAT is a "hot fix"?

    Oh, and just to stay with the conversation in line here, no one is fully accountable for any huge issue that hasn't been tested.
    The key is a test of the system beforehand. Most Open Source software is tested in pre-alpha/alpha (development), beta, and QA-beta states.

    Hey, bro... easy with the overzealous behavior.
    I've seen hundreds of kids die from cancer, hundreds die from AIDS, and scores die from lead poisoning.
    The jist of it is that if your over your adolesence and under your senior years, your out of the category that really "needs to worry".

    The person was referring to liberties and a sudden national shift of resources over something that statistically amounts of a blip, with quite a lot of "could happen".

    You lost us at the wording "Why not?"

    No professional ever changes for the sake of changing.
    The community support is far from better, it's UBUNTU. Redhat/CentOS has a world of following. Besides, how many Oracle or install on Ubuntu by support-release?

    Ubuntu hasn't proven itself as anything better than another way to do what Red Hat/CentOS has done in the server world.
    Our entire data center is Red Hat/CentOS, with XEN virtualization and clustering. While I'm a Debian/Gentoo person, I've noticed the merits of using something industry-accepted when in a publically traded company.

    I'm sorry but obviously you don't realize that the shuttle is far from being a tugboat...
    It's not like the ocean where you can put a vehicle in front of something, and put energy into pulling it to where you want, without a zillion different things that can go wrong, and are impeding. The travel in orbit isn't standing still, along with costly thruster fuel (costly in weight, & price)
    Slapping an engine onto something, and letting it take care of itself is alot cheaper, safer, and more efficient.

    Pretty much in a gridlocked environment, one thing needs to disappear to gain another. A food store would need to fight for that spot.
