According to his "about the author" blurb:
Quote:
Subhasish Ghosh. . .tinkers with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Sun Solaris operating systems.
Whether "tinkers" and "actually knows jack about it" are synonymous I guess is up for interpretation. Sounds to me like he downloaded one distro over a weekend and played with it for 20 mins, then decided he'd extoll his vast depth of knowledge to the rest of the world. Moron.

More evidence that too much McDonald's is a bad thing.

Come on guys, he is right! How silly of us to assume millions of linux users could actually find Linux to be better to windows. How, he sure showed us the light, in his 9 paragraph report.

Now, if you will excuse me, a have a win xp crash scheduled for 47 min from now.

LOL. Given the title, that's rather fitting.
