Why do you prefer *nix?

This statement just goes to show, my friends, that there are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

(Oh, and VoidMain -- wtf???)

well give me a good arguement on why *nix is better. List some reasons.

Guilty buy association.

Very simply put, *.nix users are a friendlier lot. There is a lot more help out there for newbies like myself. Without help from the many *.lugs, I would not have the smooth, reliable OS that I do.

Try to get help from Mycrowsauce without first obtaining a pissport. I think DOT NOT. I don't wish to get tangled in that NET.

I've come to this forum on a quest for information. I want to know why I cannot control, organize and OWN my Windows box, like I can control, organize and OWN my Linux box.

Glad to be here. That is all for now. I'll resume sandbagging.

Happy Holidays,

What on earth are you talking about!?? What windows OS have you tried? Cause I know you haven't tried 2000 with that statement.

Do you own your copy of Win2k?  I think not, and as a matter of fact you can only put it on one machine.  I have 8 machines on my home network.  Hmmm, how much would that set me back?  Let alone if I wanted run a copy of NT Server w/IIS/SQL Server and expose one of them to the Internet?  How much is that going to set me back?  Now if I want to write some DLLs for my nice shiney IIS server I guess I'll have to buy a copy of VC or VB, how much is that going to set me back?  Let alone when I get done with this I have a slow piece of shit IIS server that any 15 year old can hack in to.

I have already listed *many* reasons why Win* (including Win2k) is inferior in several message threads.  I'm not going to repeat them.  But then MS users have a hard time reading, hence "Video Professor".
