- billswift 14y agoI thought his discussion of the Linux Hater's Blog, http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=628 http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=628 , was even better. ADDED: Also the Linux Hater's Blog is still going if only intermittently, http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/ http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/

- jolohaga 14y agoThis article is outdated. For a pictorial story that's always current, I refer you to... http://www.levenez.com/unix/ http://www.levenez.com/unix/
- derleth 14y agoIt's outdated to the extent it is, in itself, a piece of history.
- carrolllewis 14y agoIt's not that UNIX is so great. It's that everything else is so much worse. When things suck bad enough, someone does something about it. (As it was with Multics... after all these years, people are still pushing more crap systems on us, forcing us to retreat to UNIX.) When you delve into this OS you break free from all of the crap and, if you stick with it, you can actually see that things can be made simple. Quite refreshing, I think. Beware the complexifiers, people who want to make simple things complex. They are like the Snark. Lurking in every tree.
