[TriLUG] RE: UPDATE: Red Hat Sucks

[Thomas C. Meggs]

He seems to be quite the *BSD fan. I may be overstepping my bounds here, 
but I assume that most people on TriBUG would think that running Outlook 
Express is blasphemy, in addition to him.

I may be coming across as a zealot, but it is rather undenyable that 
Outlook Express has had a lot of security problems.

At any rate.. back to Linux is for Bitches. :)

I agree with all the points on the main page except for:

3) The kernel has one job: to keeping the system up, running and stable, 
not to serve web content - I don't care if it's faster from the kernel.

Unfortunately his idealology about kernel speed enhancements doesn't 
live up to the expectations of our capatilistic society.

However, I do think his rant about xinetd is great, and that RedHat 
should not have forced it upon its users without an option to go back to 
regular old inetd.

Regards,
Tom
