A true conservative, not a troll, much less a “I don’t care I just want it for free” libtard who get so animated over their free sh!t being questioned.

Good evening G.E. sorry I didn't courtesy-ping you on my snarky comment above. Didn't know you'd still be on the thread.

I don't use free tools because they're free, I use them because they're the right tool for a given job. So I buy copies of Windows, and buy Apple and HP devices, and buy VMware licenses, and so forth and so on. Yeah, some of the tools are free (Linux, certain Windows utils, VirtualBox, OpenShell, etc.) but that's just an incentive to donate/contribute when I find it useful.

Your legendary animus toward Linux is your opinion and you're welcome to it. I have no interest in argument.

Having worked with Unix in the AT&T days on 3B2 and 3B5 machines, and been through Ballmer and the SCO follies, and watched as Microsoft finally admitted (only tacitly of course) that Linux was the development environment of choice and decided to support it, I have a different opinion on some aspects.

The historical facts are what they are (or rather, were), but they're in the past. The interesting stuff is yet to come.

I wish you a pleasant (and if you like I, are working, a productive) evening.
