I leave it to others much more trustworthy to judge.

What? Your provable lies in your own list? Simple example you skirted around the last time I called you on it:

  1. You stated "Linux is a major pain to install and especially update," which in itself is a subjectively valid statement since it is a value judgement
  2. N3WBI3 said "Must I school you again? http://howto.homelinux.net/swf/yum.html" to show you it can be easy, linking to a flash animation of an install residing on his home page
  3. You replied "HAHAHAHAHAAAA! You want me to go to some hacker website for my security updates?"
  4. He replied "This is a swfmovie of how to install new software by clicking a mouse, updates work the same way...if you install fedora you should pull packages from Fedora"
That clarification should have ended it, but, no, you keep going on as if he'd said to download security updates from hacker sites.

It was fun revisiting that though, because I came across this again, "You mentioned uptime and microsoft.com is consistently king of the o/s vendors."

Big huge Microsoft beaten by tiny little Knoppix. We also don't know what the uptime is for IBM since Netcraft doesn't do stats on AIX -- but we do know that AIX uptime is generally measured in years.

The difference between your lies and our "lies" is that we can easily prove yours.

Ah, pushing your foreign fakes again of course. I was obviously referring to US software vendors, and here you are pushing your "knoppix" again.
