Survey: Research has found that administrators are more productive when working with Linux servers rather than those running Windows, but not everyone agrees with the results

^^^^^^^^^^That's ridiculous for 2 months worth of patches.^^^^^^^^

You shouldn't be so quick to admit to everybody here that you simply cannot read.

Up2date updates everything, not just OS. You saw something called G.... I.... M..... P..... in that u2d list? Yes, that's not the Linux OS you know. I'm just saying.

Something else....... u2d when doing a system wide update like that will go considerably faster on something like FIOS. But I wouldn't expect you to inject that little fact into your post either.

Reading your posts is normally a similar exercise to reading an article from one of the various liberal media outlets.

This is a swfmovie of how to install new software by clicking a mouse, updates work the same way... I am pulling the updates right from Fedoras website not any 'hacker site'..

And you wanting users to do something exactly that stupid shows how little you really understand about how to properly secure a system.

Hmmm lets see if you install fedora you should pull packages from Fedora oh yea thats not the right way to do it..

Ive never seen that behavior and I patch quite a few more redhat systems than you do, typical time to pull down RPMS for a quarterly update is about 15-20 minutes.

People here will have to decided weather to trust an RHCE who works with it every day or a Linux basher who claims never to allow it in his shop unless it suits him in the argument..

The point is this: when you complain about comparing apples and oranges in one post and the compare site uptime to server up time you show either how ignorant you are or what a hypocrite you are..

its not even comparing webservers its comparing websites. Consider clustering solutions and its pretty obvious how stupid this evidence is..

One down, one to go.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Most SoundBlaster Live, Audigy, Audigy 2, and Audigy 4 cards are supported by the latest ALSA drivers. Most Linux distributions include these drivers. For the latest information on which cards are known to work with the ALSA drivers, look at their sound card matrix.

The X-Fi series of products are not supported under Linux, and probably won't be for quite a while.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You don't download these drivers from creative's website. That's the oldschool way. They're in the linux kernel, when you do your OS install they are already configured.

Fedora

So now you're recommending people use a BETA product as their primary O/S? LOL, your IT "advice" is about the worst IT advice known to man.

Linux is easier.

Sure it is. "Easier", "Free", yet still stuck down at 2% of desktops for some incredibly strange reason.

Clustering is the one thing Linux does fairly well, yet none of the Linux companies can ever the uptime of microsoft.com. Go ahead and spin some more, lost little top.

No, I used fedora in a swf capture of a process that will also work on Redhat, do you want me to do an update with redhat (pretty much the same procedure) to show how wrong you are?

your IT "advice" is about the worst IT advice known to man.

Given your statement that 'Linux' is all you have and I have a session capture of how easy it is I would think its obvious who knows what they are talking about..

So you are acknowledging that the uptime of a site versus the uptime of a server are not related? Whos spinning? You start comparing apples and oranges and then try to change the subject..

In the 2% ranges..... It still has the higher 2.x userbase than the mac does.

You mentioned uptime and microsoft.com is consistently king of the o/s vendors. The rest is just you whining about it and calling people names who blew your BS out of the water.

Well if anyone on this thread would know about BS it would be the man who wines that other are comparing apples and oranges when he has a mixed fruit basket of his own..
