SUPERUSER
[jcoy@jcoy-ppp][/usr2/users/jcoy] rmmod nfs
nfs: Device or resource busy

Why Linux? source code. POSIX. tcpip. job control. support from the authors.
drivers for most hardware.  because one terminal or process is never enough.
    forget the other O/Ss, i use Linux- the choice of a GNU generation.
