So they rewrote every line of the Linux Kernel and every driver so ensure there was no code left written by non paid devs?Originally posted by Sysman View Post
I would rather have someone who loves to code that much that he is willing to do it in his spare time for free, than an average paid developer.
Another one that needs to be blackballed from the profession.Comment

That is not in fact what happens. What Linux gives you is the chance for every no-hoper who is unable to find employment in software to commence a hopelessly impracticable project on a complete whim. The project is later abandoned when the hapless author finally succeeds in getting a job at McDonalds only to be revived a decade later by people who mistakenly believe it is a completely different project that happens to go under the same name.Originally posted by Unix View Post
When this new crew of incipient burger-flippers finally notice their mistake the project re-lapses into desuetude. At this point it is sufficiently famous to be recommended on forums as the best/only way for Linux users to achieve xxxx. Where xxxx is entirely unrelated to any of the aims of either the original or successive updaters of the project. Which, surprisingly, is in fact the case, it really is the only/best tool for job xxxx under Linux : everything else is even worse.
Linux is not just a piece of sh**, it is, like the bogs at a festival, multiple independent mountains of poo, accreted independently by thousands of people acting at random with entirely different aims in mind.
The UI is beyond poor and the implementation needs to be chucked away and completely re-written. Hopefully without the absurd fantasy that a heirachy of miscellaneous scripts can form a useful basis for an OS.
Yes, that's right, anyone who stands up to the Linux bandwagon needs to be expelled from the profession. Of course they do. Because otherwise there is no way that anyone could ever be duped into using the useless pile of old Tulipe.Originally posted by Unix View Post

That's its name.

I am fortunately not required to operate the forum software, nor to view it using a computer running Linux. If that changes then, yes, I will be off...Originally posted by darmstadt View PostSo I take it that you'll be leaving CUK seeing as it runs on (AFAIK) Ubuntu

Whilst I'm not an Open Source/Linux fan, despite the impression I've given to I'm not anti Linux, just I'm my experience it's not in the same league as the Unix variants designed to work on the same companies hardware, One Throat To Choke if things go wrong. Witness a Red Hat/Emulex/HP/Oracle slag-off-a-thon I had to deal with a few years back - all four blaming each other....
The new POWER8's will have updated versions of RHEL and Ubuntu on POWER I'm told, optimised for POWER - fantastic, looking forward to it. AIX is clunky etc, but its LVM stuff is A1, a doddle compared to Linux, hopefully IBM will have merged these things which would be nice.Comment
