Ah endless flameware on these beloved .advocacy...
I have runned a few systems in my poor life, and those
which fits me more is so far UNIX because I am rather
a scientific/programmer than something else.
Now I've also seen other peoples and sometimes other
scientific/programmer running other system, and
sometimes some incredibles ones like any M$ Win one.
So what? I know a guy who writes his thesis using word.
I find it awfull, horrible, difficult to maintain/port
(nobody but me saw him trying to send his source... where
TeX is nothing more than pure ASCII, running everywhere
on everything). But what can I do? I said... Why not TeX?
He answered "archaic"...
I do not request for peace... I just wonder why you try
to persuade other running on a true system if they are
happy with toys... If they find funny to collect problems
and pro to solve them after ages working on "how to *
this bug"... Leave them do!!! I am as you are UNIX friends
so far one of the most happy man in the universe having
somewhat the power in hands when running a UNIX system...
But have we to persuade lamers??? I say no... Let the
others in their shit.
