Even I picked up on that one and I'm from the hardware side of the
business.
Like I have always said, Roy Schestowitz is going to have a very difficult
when he leaves the sheltered world of academia where he can sit day and
night posting articles to COLA and other places.
I just laugh when I see Linux advocates blubbering about switching entire
operations to Linux when they, the COLA Linux zealots, have no clue about
change and systems management which is a basic tenant of data center
management.
Just the fact that these people see 400+ and counting Linux distributions
as an advantage, instead of a hindrance to Linux's adoption by big
business is proof that they haven't a clue about the real world and how
big business works.
It's pretty obvious that many of the people in this group are hobbyists
and have never worked in the industry at the professional level.
