  1. Re:Behold the next move from SCOX/MSFT on Baystar Confirms Microsoft Behind SCO Investment · · Score: 1

    RPMs required to execute native Linus applications, but it does not include a Linux kernel.

    I was about to comment on the typo, then I notice it was in the original. Do you think Darl knocked that up on his first word processor?

  7. Re:I agree on Linus on SCO, and the Desktop Being 10 Years Away · · Score: 1

    Interesting...I just read the BBC story, and altho there were many references to Linux, there was no description of what Linux was. A far cry from the following:

    Me: Linux is cool.
    Someone Else: What's 'Linux'?
    Me: It's an operating system
    Someone Else: What's That?

    *sigh*

  15. Re:I already knew GNU/Linux was stable on Putting Linux Reliability to the Test · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with you there. Win2k IS stable.

    My machine at work had an uptime of 188days+, (it was at 188days before I went on holiday). Then chatting to our sysadmin the other week, he mention that I wouldn't be able to VNC to my machine if I tired, I enquired as to why, and he told me that the PDC had blown up and they stolen my PC as a temporary replacement.

    So, in conclusion, Win2k is super stable, unless another machine in the office goes down, then all bets are off.

    And yes, I do actually do work on my PC.

    "Part of their study has been on how Linux has been able to maintain a high level of consistency in the kernel while groups around it maintain maximum flexibility."
