I find that hard to believe, there has certainly been bugs abound in Linux, but in general, production releases are stable. > -- things seem to get integrated into L1NU>< as quickly as possible so > as to allow a maximum of chest-beating by the k00l L1NU>< |)00|)Z. Of course, some of us that can read don't confuse developer releases with production releases. If you have a problem understanding the difference, I can try and explain it in small, simple words. > Oh, believe me, I think Linux warrants a colon.

Yeah, that's really a rotten thing to do, isn't it? Throwing around inflammatory garbage about one particular OS in another OS's newsgroups. Don't you hate people who do that? I'm sure you agree that ``Morons'', even with a capital M, is too nice a name for those people. You know, I really think you're quite amusing on your little crusade, and at least _I_ should be grateful, since people are occasionally complaining that Linux advocates are ..ah.. overenthusiastic, and that the BSD advocates are more well thought out and considerate. Now I've got a counterexample. Have a nice day! ~kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
