Very Computer

        Come on ... I think it is time to put an end to this discussion about
various OS's. Some of you think that Linux is the next best thing after sliced
bread, others say that only DOS can serve their purpose. Well I think that we all
have our own opinion, and there is no way in this world to change each others
point of view. WE all know what fullfill's our needs, so lets give up this
conversation. We are all wasting valuable bandwidth.

If you don't like Linux: Try DOS.

If you don't like the discussion
about Linux vs. DOS: make a kill file for your news reader. ;)

hai Ian,

You made  me read the `perennial guidelines'  once again, I must admit
it's been a while, but the topics now belongs here because:

this is  from the readme  before posting
"Only  if you have a  posting that is  not more appropriate for one of
the other Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not about the future
development of Linux, not an announcement  or bug report and not about
system administration - should you post to comp.os.linux.misc."

Well, we  are not  talking about something  appropriate for  the other
linux   groups, it is   not  a question,  it's not   about the  future
development, it's not a bug report and it's not about sysadmin :-)

(god only knows what we're talking about, but I like it)

And, the posting also had this beautifull line:
"Note that X Windows related questions should go to
comp.windows.x.i386unix, and that non-Linux-specific Unix questions
should go to comp.unix.questions.  Please read the FAQs for these
groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq."

Don't  you just love this  one, It would mean  that we would have more
bandwidth  for our highly   intelligent :):) conversations if all  the
`Xconfig needed` questions went to comp.windows.x.i386unix.

But all the smileys  aside, I think the  reason somany people  come to
this group is because of the cosy, easy way people talK with eachother
and flame eachother. Most people here are fervent Un*x/Linux users and
proud of it and are happy to have a meeting ground like this.

awaiting your wisdom as always :-)

I'm an OS agnostic, but if anyone has proof of the existence of THE ONE TRUE
OS, I'll follow blindly - I'm an American after all.

I think there was a typo in the earlier post:
instead of:

Quote:>>is better DOS, Windows, OS/2, NeXTstep, Linux, Gods Own OS.
should have been:
>>is better DOS, Windows, OS/2, NeXTstep, Linux (God's Own OS).
