Just a gripe but I've become rather annoyed by articles in PC mags written by
people who have probably never used a UNIX box of any derivation. Windows NT
isn't cryptic? Anyone been in "regedit" lately. I still see articles claiming
that Linux doesn't support SMP or some other feature showing an obvious lack of
research on the part of the reviewer. Just the other week I read a review of
Caldera where the author compared it's performance to a Red Hat system he had
used, said they were about the same. Of course, Caldera is based on Redhat
just with value added features!
Sorry, just lost my temper for a moment.
