It's something called "show off", depends on the person.<BR/><BR/>Now i would like to know more about the security in Longhorn because that's all I'm really concerned about, security is the 21st century's IT enigma.Send me a email at:<BR/>ramonklown ___at__pop.com.brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139853.post-1122466095881764222005-07-27T05:08:00.000-07:002005-07-27T05:08:00.000-07:00Why are linux users so eager to let the world know...Why are linux users so eager to let the world know they use linux?<BR/>It's an OS, ffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139853.post-1122426993559865762005-07-26T18:16:00.000-07:002005-07-26T18:16:00.000-07:00Everybody knows that Sun Solaris 10 puts you 10 mo...<I>Everybody knows that Sun Solaris 10 puts you 10 moves ahead of the competition!</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, but you can't send chocolate to Sun, it would melt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139853.post-1122406265720432422005-07-26T12:31:00.000-07:002005-07-26T12:31:00.000-07:00i don't want to test that crap. my slackware box i...i don't want to test that crap. my slackware box is sweet, no need for change ;-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139853.post-1122399717560037182005-07-26T10:41:00.000-07:002005-07-26T10:41:00.000-07:00You could beta test FireFox :-)And as good ol M$ i...You could beta test FireFox :-)<BR/>And as good ol M$ isn't going to release IE7 for Win 2000, 98x, or NT this gives alot of people a real reason to test and use a real Browser.<BR/><BR/>http://www.gentoo.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139853.post-1122398781652979822005-07-26T10:26:00.000-07:002005-07-26T10:26:00.000-07:00Rich: No, you don't need to send chocolate to Ubun...Rich: <I>No, you don't need to send chocolate to Ubuntu, you need to send source code so it has the same featureset as an operating system targeted at the masses should.

On top of that, the NSA didn't seem to have a problem with OSS software when you take into account their multimillion dollar investment into TrustedBSD and SE Linux.<BR/><BR/>Microsoft and OSS both can play a role in the back office and on the desktop as well.
