    Linux will never make it
    -- it's more of a flash-in-the-pan than PHP!















    Ok, I'm just kidding.... but I bet Vinny got a good jolt from that!

    Linux? HA HA! It'll never fly. Who's going to be interested in running an OS created in someone's basement? That's all just silly talk.

    I mean, people can't even pronounce the thing... how will they ever figure out how to run it?

    I'm just surprised that Vin hasn't posted statistics on how many copies of Linux have been downloaded, or how many copies of RedHat have been shipped.

    Personally, I'm a BSD fan, however, that's a tough crowd, so... it's Slackware, here at the house.

    I wonder how all these web hosts ended up running RedHat?!?!? Never could figure that out. Probably got something to do with RPM...

    You gotta listen to that audio bit. The guy pronounces it two way.. I THINK i've got it down phonetically.

    (He also says "Torvalds", but the rest of the words are, ummmm, foreign to me.)

    I took the liberty to edit this a bit:
    Guy saying linux over and over

    OMG! You're losing it, Ron...

    I've been 'hearing' this discursive-recursion transformational-generative Linux pronunciation BS since the last century, and it's getting old.

    I would normally expect you to rise above such sophistry. Once again, what's going on, bro? Did you lose your job, or something?
