Please, both sides go back into your corners and continue whatever you
were doing BEFORE the initial posting was made. The ensuing
``discussion'' (if you could call it that) is getting NEITHER side
ANYWHERE.
It is becoming plain that the choice of which OS to run is becoming a
religous issue, and that is a recipie for disaster when it comes down
to trying to make FAIR and PROPER comparisons.
If you want to run Linux, go run Linux, and leave those who want to
run FreeBSD in peace. We'll do the same for you. If you want to try
proving something by running a comparison between the two using your
favourite benchmark, have a heart and publish it on a web page
somewhere, or on USENET, and leave people who read mailing lists out
of it.
I for one am not going to say ANYTHING about EITHER OS. I use the OS
that I want to, if you don't agree with that, fine. I'm not going to
beat you over the head with a stick and try to persuade you that
you're wrong and that I'm right. The OS that I have chosen works for
me. It may not work for you. That's life. It's too short to have these
sort of religous wars. So lets stop it now before we waste any more
time. I'm sure we all have better things to do with our time than
throw rocks at each other.
If there are people who feel the need to throw rocks, please do so in
PRIVATE e-mail, and leave those of us who want to GET ON WITH OUR
LIVES to do so.
Thank you
Gary
