first and foremost for being American products instead of foreign fakes.

I decided to do a GE type hunt for the communism of Linus here is what I turned up..

Results 1 - 10 of about 265,000 for bill gates communist. (0.21 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 10,500 for linus torvalds communist. (0.18 seconds)

It would seem to be that Bill gates is 25 times the communist Linus is (oh dear)... Now I could go read maybe the first five results for each article but give GE was too lazy to do that why should I bother..

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

No mention of Bill Gates and his Leftist views?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

And I DID NOT see your comment before I posted mine!

[Golden Eagle]

I tried to leave but the comedy on from you two is quite a draw. Accusing the richest man on the planet of being a communist of all things. Hysterical!

[N3WBI3]

Right because the communist in power in RUssia did not accumulate weath right?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

So how do you feel about this?

Umigumi

Umigumi is a Free Software published under the General Public License which simplifies the gerenation of custom Linux distributions and their deployment on various media: Flash memory cards, LiveCD, hard disk, etc. Umigumi is also a fantastic tool for system integrators looking to automate configuration and quality assurance of complex Linux based solutions.

Umigumi has been originally developped by the OpenBrick community for the OpenBrick open embedded platform. Umigumi is now available for other platforms with the goal to accelerate the distribution of Free Software based appliances both for business (router, firewall, VPN, NAS, etc.) and home (multimedia, security, home gateway, etc.).

What can I do with Umigumi ?

Umigumi has been used to develop more than 10 mini distributions based on Mandrakelinux:

• Nexedi VPN: an ipsec VPN mini distribution featuring QOS, dynamic DHCP, enterprise level DNS and advanced printing support.
• Nexedi Desktop Linux Server: a live CD which provides a complete server environment to small and medium enterpises, featuring LDAP unification, kolab groupware and terminal server.
• Radio: a WiFi radio receiver distribution intended for flash memories.
• TC: a thin client distribution which allows to turn any PC or OpenBrick into a tightVNC thin client thanks to flash memory of live CD.
• etc.

The bet is not what he is going to say, we can all took at the tripe list on my profile for that. The bet is when hell find his way here to say it... How many post into a thread until GE says 'X' by pinging him you brought him here a bit earlier than he might have otherwise shown up..

oops ...

LINUX is a TOOL!!!!

No matter what its roots might be!

[Prime Choice]

Accusing the richest man on the planet of being a communist of all things.

He might as well be. He sure didn't mind selling his soul for the Chinese so they can use MS malware to repress words like "freedom," "democracy" and other things Leftists like ol' Bill can't stand.

Is Russia still a communist nation?

[Prime Choice]

LINUX is a TOOL!!!!

No. Linux is an OS kernel.

Brass Buzzard is a t00l.

Fine in the former soviet union did not some people in charge make themselves rich?

No kidding.  Pretty soon we'll have pocket PCs that we can carry anywhere.  Just hook up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and go to work on it.

I can't keep up anymore.  I'm getting too old for this sh*t.

[softwarecreator]

Fine in the former soviet union did not some people in charge make themselves rich?

Of course they did.  They pretended it wasn't the case, but there were many millionaires in Russia.  Communism is a sham and only applied to the working class.

I'm reading and posting on a linux box.

The other side of the coin is that there is a windows box sitting right next to it sharing a KVM switch and a windows laptop on the desk next to it.

People always pose the linux/windows debate as an either/or proposition.

I think this is not the way to look at it.

Each Environment has their advantages.

In my opinion, Linux is more stable.

Again, in my opinion, there are applications and tasks that are difficult if not impossible to accomplish on Linux.

Examples of these might be running Quicken or running company or industry specific applications.

With hardware so cheap, a good argument can be made for owning multiple computing platforms and using each as appropriate.

That's what I do.

BWAHAHAHAHA ... first time I heard that one ... today.  Ah, the classics never die, do they?
