evidently big enough for you to stop by the thread..

Touche'. :) But truthfully, the only thing that makes me roll my eyes is the knee-jerk anti-Microsoftisms.

I've maintained both Windows and Unix machines, and frankly the users of both systems tire me out :) The computers on the other hand were fine. Do I reboot Windows machines more? Of course. But it just wasn't that big of a deal to me.

So how did the Dems answer in the "Rock the Vote" debate to Mac vs. PC? Did any say Linux? :-)

"Apache on FreeBSD" could well be a Mac running OSX as that is FreeBSD at it's core and includes Apache. Thus there may be as many running Mac servers (Dean, Mosley-Braun and Leiberman) as are running Linux and more than were running Windows.

It won't show up as FreeBSD since Apple's new OS's kernel is called Darwin. The user space tools are based on FreeBSD.

I run Linux not because I don't want to pay... but because I want the flexibility to do what I need to do in crafting services for our customers. I also enjoy the stability and security. That's what it comes down to.

Well I run Linux because it's NOT Microsoft. I was simply pointing out a lib mindset, not bashing Linux.
