... and you seem determined to ram this down our throats every week.
You seem to be saying that you gave up on Linux ages ago because it
was ridden with bugs. You seem unable to make any allowance that
Linux may in fact have improved since you left it, yet you get
terribly upset when anybody makes any out-of-date criticisms of
386BSD.
This might be reasonable if you were _ever_ prepared to be positive in
your criticism. However, unjustified hit-and-run attacks on Linux are
not going to help anybody. If you have a problem, let us know what it
is - that way you might even find some public spirited developer
willing to fix your problem for you. Just standing up and shouting
very loudly that Linux is rubbish is hardly constructive.
For the record, Linux doesn't crash on me. Period.
Give us a break, Charles, huh? Please?
