Damn, just damn.

I believe Tanenbaum has just completely blown away any semblance of credibility in Brown's book, and in Brown himself. It's obvious that Brown started out in the beginning to do a hack job on Linux, and although he states interviews with people like Tanenbaum to give credibility to his book, knowing what happened in the interview does the opposite. I wonder if he did as much of a hack job with Dennis Ritchie et. al..

Bush, check out #205 for some education.

That would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. Tanenbaum is the preeminent expert in operating systems. He wrote the freakin' book on 'em. And, because he takes a position that's contrary to your little dorm-room operating system, he's "lost his credibility". What an utter joke.

So what. If the evidence supports his position, Linux deserves to be revealed for what it is.
