LINUX HAS POWER??? And what you are saying is that Tru644, SUNOS (pre-Solaris), BSDI (the ISP's server workhorse UNIX), etc. DO NOT? Linux still has yet to succeed in coming up with a reasonable reliable threads model!!! This is a nightmare as any CORBA or Java programmer will tell you! PUHleeeeeeze! Criticize Apple for their shortfalls as so many love to do. Boycott Apple ala' Stallman. BUT DO NOT even think about comaparing the technology in NetBSD with Linux. Memory Management all by itself is way beyond Linux. Sheesh and I suppose Bill Joy wrote vi originally for LINUX and the "ex" regular expressions model was contrived by Torvalds. And I suppose that UCBVax and Seismo were running Linux when they were the hubs of the whole damn Internet...
Yet another Linux bigot...
