We say "10 foot pole"...

Anyways, GOOD! I don't want to see Solaris's ADVANCED stuff in a P.O.S.
renegade OS codenamed "Linux". I want Solaris to kick Linux's butt,
because Linux *IS* a P.O.S. Right now Linux has the upper hand because
of wider driver and fanatical support from PC-bucket kids. However, if
Sun doesn't screw this up, the P.O.S. Linux OS will suck it.

And yes, I openly hate Linux, because I have to work with it every day
for a living and because it always causes problems. And yes, I know how
to properly configure & admin a Linux system, thank you. It's just that
it's crap compared to Solaris, not to mention compared to IRIX.

Oh, and BTW: whoever doesn't like corporate UNIX can shove Linux where
the Sun don't shine. I think I pretty much said everything with that
last sentence.
