Until the BSD developers die of starvation because big industry took everything and didn't even donate a bread crumb.
But BSD is also a special case. BSD itself has enough social and political connections to stay alive for a long time. No real world programmer could ever subsist on the BSD license.
Geez, are use serious?
Do you really believe GPL programmers feed on programs bits?
So real world programmer would subsist on the GPL?
And what does it mean?
I think you are confusing BSD and MIT licenses. The BSD license specifically states that you must acknowledge the use of BSD code even if you only ship binaries(see the IE about box, for example). The MIT license only requires you to include the copyright in the source code (which you do not have to distribute).
If you look into MIT license you'll see they do not distinguish between source and binary - they say "Software". I believe it includes both.
Here:
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
If Linux moved to the BSD license, Microsoft would patent and buy Linux onto the hobbyists shelf and then resume bending the rest of the population over a barrel.
If my aunt had nuts she would be my uncle.
Microsoft does not have any interest in Linux and BSDs. They, for reasons unknown believe they have better technology and everything else.
And if ever Microsoft have found something useful in GPLed programs they just could rewrite it, right?
they also have the heaviest and biggest flying aircraft in the world. Please google for the Antonov-225.
They do not.
Antonov-225 was designed and built in Kiev, Ukraine.
As Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union Antonov-225 was numbered CCCP-82060 and had red flag painted on it's tail. Now it's registered UR-82060 and carries Ukrainian flag. It never belonged to Russia.
Lack of know how:
Are you smoking crack?
It's the RUSSIANS we're talking about. They've had space stations in orbit since the seventies.
At that time they(not Russians, Soviets) had unlimited resources to do whatever they wanted. They still didn't have good technologies.
MIR itself was the best until ISS was orbited. And they sure had a lot of influence designing ISS.
Common, if it was the only space station you can't compare it with anything that did not exist.
Those guys run progress unmanned craft to ISS, as they have been doing for years.
I don't see it as a big deal. They push Progress into orbit in vicinity of a space station and manoeuvre it to dock...
Have most endurance records and even the shuttle docking system was designed by russians(NASA bought it in the ninetees).
Actually Shuttle-to-Mir docking station. Somebody had to design it and it was cheapier to do it in Russia. No problem.
Now Russians do not have those resources and those facilities that Soviet Union had. They had thousands of scientists and engineers in those days. They still have some people around but it's 13 years since Soviet Union dissolved. And almost no money. They cut corners. They pride themselves on robust but cheap technologies.
If minor update you do because of security reasons you may try to install freebsd-update from ports. It could fetch and install binary updates. No need to recompile anything.
The plane involved was a spyplane which china could as easily have shot down and/or killed the crew.
You don't remember? That reconnaissance plane was flying in international airspace and Chinese fighter plane was too close to it and they collided. Since closest place to land was in China they just went there and landed, cause that was the only alternative to crash in the ocean. Than the crew was detained and plane was disassembled by Chinese. Chinese officials wanted apology for downing Chinese fighter - that was the problem, because it looked like Chinese fighter was guilty in accident.
Finally letter with "We are sorry" was delivered and American crew was let go. Whole accident took 11 days.
They didn't, they just demanded an apology for spying, which is quite all right in my opinion. It's a shame the U.S. took two years to overcome their idiotic pride and apologized (Which is an interesting indicator to the value they see in their soldiers, isn't it?)
Please don't make an issue from nothing. You have so strong emotions because of misinformation.
I fucking HATE less. Get that piece of shit out of my sight. If you have $PAGER=less, and you man "anything", if you quit "man/less" at a specific page, it clears the whole fucking screen, making it useless for on the fly command comprehension. It's the one default in SuSE that I utterly despise and wish they hadn't inflicted upon all my servers.
In FreeBSD less behave as less if called as less.
If you call it more it behaves as more (and much better than Linux's more).
Original poster asked about admin tools.
The poem describes some of them. What you are answering is something developer - not admin may come with. I do not know any admin who use emacs, for example. And shell + awk + sed very often is better than perl..
Last nit: > Z is for zcat, which handles compression
Most of us use either zip (or Archive::Zip) or gzip (or Zlib) for that now.
We'll say zip, because it starts with z and so won't screw up the poem any
worse than I already have;-)
Actually zcat sends to stdout ungzipped content of archived file, zip or gzip can't do it (without cat).
Err, you are assuming they went from Solaris+Oracle to Red Hat + Oracle. They might go from Debian +MySQL or from OpenVMS+RDB or god knows what.
Also you have to factor in the (supposedly) more expensive Sun training and sysadmins vs. cheap-to-train Linux sysadmins
That's not true. If you compare Red Hat and Sun courses and certification prices they are on par. And there are just Unix sysadmins - companies rarely distinguish between Linux, Solaris. FreeBSD, HP/UX, etc admins when hire.
and the cost of 3rd party software which is generally more expensive for Sun (and for servers with more CPU) than for Linux (and for servers with less CPU). Backup software is one example.
I don't think it's true either. Some of 3rd party software just does not exists for Linux, another just does not require multiprocessor system to run and have one price - as mentioned earlier backup software.
If you will, think of it as General Lee and what was left of the Confederate army, complete with families and other hangers-on, retreating to the island of Cuba, and declaring themselves the one true government of the USA.
It's nice analogy, especially if you consider fact that Taiwan NEVER belonged to China.
Nothing, once the kernel is _built_ to your needs on an OpenBSD machine, you _really_ don't need to recompile it, ever.
Maybe from security point of view... And if that box performs just one function or two you don't need to touch it. But adding new devices and features may need it. And bugs lurk there as well.
I can't visualize an acre, but I can easily visualize a hectare, the corresponding unit of the metric system -- a square that's 100 meters (a little longer than an American football field) on a side.
And that's exactly length of a football field! And in American English - length of a soccer field.
Today, the USA alone bears the distinction of being the only nation on the planet that has not yet made any sort of government sponsored effort to switch to the metric system.
BTW starting from 60ies US ARMY moving to metric - like "10 clicks to target" means 10 kilometers;)
I've noticed this since the mid 80s or so when more and more cars started coming with metric hardware. .... It costs a lot less to manufacture tools and parts in metric only than have duplicate factories for metric and SAE.
Yep, it is much easier to sell cars to Canada or Latin America such way.
Why do you need to go to the trouble of hitting a one time sequence of closed ports rather than just knocking with a one time password in a single UDP datagram?
Then there is a daemon which listens on that port and you may feed it with UDP stream trying to DOS it.

If there was anything useful for Veritas they just could rewrite from scratch pieces they needed. Veritas has enough engineers to do that.
The main reason for IBM supporting Linux is to boost their hardware sales, maybe hurt Microsoft a bit in process.
They do not. Antonov-225 was designed and built in Kiev, Ukraine. As Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union Antonov-225 was numbered CCCP-82060 and had red flag painted on it's tail. Now it's registered UR-82060 and carries Ukrainian flag. It never belonged to Russia.

You know, 'portupgrade -aPP' is much faster, because it uses binary packages, as apt-get does.
Just use package :
pkg_add -r net-snmp
or
portupgrade -NPP
It is good to be lazy ...

A lot of things could be done with running a ssh in a loop envoking remote sed and reloading/restarting programs/systems afterwards.

I wonder why Hong Kong citizens are not happy. Maybe they know some magical words mainland Chinese do not know?
Like freedom of speech or selfgovernance?

In US we buy milk in gallons (actually in 0.5g and 0.25g
Maybe it's a typo - the Voom's satellite is too far down in Eastern sky. All those satellites are above equator..
