Grammar with an 'a' (Score 1)

It is GRAMMAR not GRAMMeR. Want a real reason? Every operating system in history has tended to be strong either as a Client or a Server. I have a formal background in math and computer engineering, and I know of no theoretical reason why this is so, but I have some opinions concerning the pragmatic reasons. The fact is that the kids at Microsoft have really focused on making Windows a competitor to MacOS in the past. MacOS is particularly strong as a Client (as I climb into my asbestos suit) it is weak as a server. The boys and girls at MS, tending to lack orginality, basically cloned the MacOS with the caveats that they were stuck with a MS-DOS heritage. Windows (which I use often, and dislike) is a successful Client OS. It is a ROTTEN Server OS. UNIX derived systems derived from mini-computer OS thinking (with a LOT of very original ideas added). UNIX and LINUX are SUBERB at Server applications and (asbestos suit zipped up to the nose here) not quite as good as a Client OS. While I personally would rather use UNIX / LINUX as a Client, it is because I am a programmer. I am forced to admit that the typical college student finds Windows easier to use than UNIX systems. Far better that they should all use Macs, but I am not in charge of that. So, long winded background later ... YOU should learn UNIX / LINUX because the world has seen VERY little innovation in Client software in the last 5 years (honest). There is a limit function to client software that DOES NOT EXIST in server software. This is because as Clients become more complex, they become less stable, etc. (See elsewhere for Thick Client discussions.) In constrast to this, SERVER software is in a renaissance. UNIX / LINUX is the premier and OPEN server environment - ipso facto, YOU should learn UNIX / LINUX.
