These rants remind me of a kid I knew in college who swore on his mother that M$ "operating systems" were "superior" to _any_ variant of UNIX. His reasoning was simply that M$ "operating systems" are, well, simple.
So, this kid never had to hack the registry, did he? ;) (snip)
Linux is vastly more stable than Windoze, but more difficult to use. Correct? Yes, OK, so each has its strong point, on either side of that fundamental principle.
I might tend to disagree here. Windoze is easier to *learn,* but Linux seems to me to be easier to *use,* except possibly in the realm of printing (and emacs-- flame-proof suit on). RPM makes software easier to install and keep track of-- heck, even building a package from a tarball is usually easier than installing on Windoze. The user can't hose the OS without logging in as root. Not to mention those nasty blue screens-- losing a chunk of your work because Windoze upchucks and having to recreate it isn't exactly easy.
