If you microphobic comic book guys hate MS so much, why not smit wasn't letting me do that. couldn't find anything about max size, only allow large files. Eventually I found I could change the max size on the only file system that allowed large files, but only as root and as soon as I switched back to my normal user, the limit went back to default.

IMHO AIX is probably the weakest UNIX ever (though I have never used HP-UX)..

make an OS people would want to use instead of something older and more confusing Phylis Diller? (l)unix needs a top to bottom overhaul and a 21st century spin on what an OS is, instead of a 1968 on.

Given that the NT kernel was built on VMS principles one could make the same case for windows. OSX is a UNIX for the user desktop, other UNIX versions (and Linux) were not deskgned for grandma, but they are coming around.

Ye are all bin playing ketchup for nearly a decade with your feared MS and by clinging to the past and living in fear, ye are only lagging further behind and isolating yourself from the people ye should be winning over is MS is the evil you claim it is.

Huh? half the technologies that get wrapped up into windows have been in the computing world for years.

MS is for people who want to get stuff done and don't want to worry about swap space.

MS is for guys who dont mind slowing their computer down with virus/spy ware scanning software, and other tools that it needs to be as safe as a *nix.

Don't criticize the OS for poor administration. I don't run in Administrator mode like many users. And, by that same token, I don't suffer from malware, viruses, and other crap. There is nothing about *nix security that Windows doesn't provide. But you have to actually USE the protections, if they're going to be useful.
