Linux sucks? <depending on what you are trying to do!>

Actually the parent post asked a valid question even if the Subject 
header was a little peurile. There hasn't been a significant amount of 
flame, since he asked for links and counterarguments against "Windows 
Sucks." No one even went and told him to do his own homework.

Of course rather than skim over a bit of the thread and realize it's not 
really a flame war before replying, you chose to be a dick. Normally I 
consider this its own punishment. However, recent circumstances will not 
permit me to resist replying: We JUST finished building a dialup server 
here for testing purposes, and having jumped through many hoops, also 
set up hylafax as an experiment for a larger server to come.

It's a shame there isn't anyone politely asking about it, what with all 
these notes and documentation lying around on my desk. Oh well, into the 
trash it goes.

Anyone up for a healthy round of OS X bashing?
