Linux sucks! It is of Euro-origin.

*BSD, while of Berkeley origin, at least is American-origin!

FYI, Linux is far better than Bill Gates' Window. Window has too many bugs and I am sick of Bill Gates inflects my computer. Did you know Freerepublic uses Linux?

Right. Almost forgot that all things of Euro-origin are bad, very bad, very very way bad.

Not too familiar with Winders, are ya?

Now if I remember right, Mom's lineage is in Ireland and Dad's is from Germany.

Big sigh. I'm so bad!

I must admit I'm generally dismayed with American software, many developers here suffer from bloatware syndrome and put eye-candy over usability.

Email is particularly frustrating, I now use TheBat, which is a neat little program from an independent eastern european developer. No extra eye-candy, pure work-horse email program, not prone to virus. American products simply can't compete.

Yep. That's why Linus Torvalds moved over to the US. So it's no longer a Euro-origin, and hasn't been since kernel 1.2 or so. . .a decade ago.

If SCO is right, then it is of AT&T origin. :-)

You joke (I think), but at least one FReeper has bashed Linux becuase usage of it takes money away from the US-based Microsoft (and deprives the US Government of tax money from sales thereof).

Two things came out of Berkeley in the '60s: BSD and LSD.

It was not a coincidence.
