Urm.. After 20 years lightly fiddling with everything from RSTS/E to =
MUNGI, could I ask why Linux is so flawed?
Not wanting a war, just some points where it doesn't measure-up compared =
to *BSD's ?
I want/intend my uVAX to have VMS, NetBSD and yes, Linux if it boots - =
just so that it can.

1. I doubt that you can learn anything good from Linux.=20
2. Please do not insult this precious hardwape with that PeeCeeish Linux =
thing.=20
If you want to learn Linux specific things get a PeeCee.=20
If you want to learn somthing about Unix in general stay with NetBSD. I =
call NetBSD my personal Unix reference implementation. It is simple, =
pure, well designed, consistent and orthogonal.=20
Yes, I don't like Linux (and the distributions on top of it). ;-)=20
