Yes, its all becuse they use linux :doh!:
They are so rich now becuse they use LINUX!!!!
That is a pretty stupid comment.
Yes, a very stupid comment, and that's why I never made it.
Google isn't the richest, and I never claimed that they got rich using linux.
What I did claim is, their success exists partially because they use linux, and linux is what supports their success.
Not richness, but success. They are they best. Why? They use linux.
Look at windows and you could say the same
They have 1000s of windows servers
They run hotmail
msn etc
And they as rich as hell!
:evilb:
Yeh, they are rich, but they suck. Nothing compared to google.
hotmail totally sucks. msn totally sucks.
You also said befor,
It has nothing to do with personal choice,
LIFE is about personal choice, nearly everything we do is personal choice!
Why is picking a OS any differnt?
What? I didn't, if course it's a personal choice. I never claimed otherwise.
Alot of the other stuff you posted was about security of servers,
Mabye you should read up on unbuntu
Its basicly a linux for n00bs and was always designed like that!
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Ubuntu is one of several distros designed with ease-of-use in mind. Is that a bad thing? Erm....no, it's a
good thing.
So all your "server security" stuff & "google owns becuse" stuff really has nothing to do with what is being talked about.
It has everything to do with what we're talking about. It's why linux is the best.
Why do you think google is so successful? Because their choice was linux. Would they have chosen windows, they wouldn't be anywhere near as successful, because they can't change windows in whatever way they like to make it better suited to their purposes, hence why they use linux, because linux is customisable, and google (and anyone else), can make anything they want of it.
Not to mention linux is the most secure OS.
What the people are talking about is,
Windows is a easyer OS to use than linux you dont have to stuff around finding the right drivers for everything
I don't know how many linux servers you manage, but let me be frank when I say, there's no need to install any drivers for anything on a server.
or compiling source codes all day long
This just shows how little you know about linux.
You do not have to compile anything. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about, as you seem to be totally unfamiliar with the concept off package managers, so please, withdraw.
You click buttons and its done.
Same on linux. Except it's a lot easier, because it downloads, installs and configures everything for you. Windows can't do that. Especially not from the command line.
If you really truly belive linux is just as easy to do these sorts of things then you really truly know nothing about linux.
Even linux experts say windows is easyer.
Oh I know nothing about linux? I
use linux, both at home and on my server. Do you use linux? That's rich coming from you, because you don't use linux, yet you seem to think you know everything about it.
And no REAL linux export will ever tell you that windows is easier than linux, or he/she wouldn't be an expert of any kind. All the experts know that the only future in computing is linux.

not meaning to butt in, but this thread has degraded into nothing but insults on a personal level.

Well if Decker could actually argue his point, or at least have something to back it up, he wouldn't need to insult me for every "rebuttal", and could actually say something meaningful to his side of the argument.
