IBM to invest $100 million in Linux push

Hehe, nice try Chad!: Poor, poor Chad only sees the world in black and white, NBMer and ABMer. Rest assured that me and my 2 Linux boxes and my 3 Windows XP boxes are here and doing just fine. Samba is working REALLY well as both a file and a print server and I still get the ease of use and functionality advantages that XP and Outlook have to offer. Now that I have some scripts to do automated backups with tar, I'm very happy that my combination of Windows and Linux is working so well. You must have confused my refusal to be fanatically supportive of Linux or fanatically critical of MS for zealotry but you will have to rethink your automatic categorization of anyone who refuses to use derogatory terms for MS and Windows as an NBMer.

Funnily enough, Linux is the BIGGEST security hole in my network since the Linux drivers for my laptop's wireless network card will not let me turn on either WEP or WAP. Rest assured I have taken steps to minimize the hole but I think it is hilarious that my Linux laptop has opened such a huge hole in my previously secure (relatively so) environment!; Posted by: NonZealot Posted on: 02/17/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
