linux kicks windows
An animation I did years ago (2001) as introduction for a college work linux vs unix. It was a joke! Created on an pentium 133 64 MB (that times!!) Please rate and comment!!

Once again, What I was trying to explain was OpenSource soft Is not always free (its explained in the GNU license) And is not mandatory that linux (GNU/Linux, if you prefer) has to be for free. Of course red hat develops RedHat RHEL RHAS,…(no free) and fedoraCore (free) There are also people that grabs Redhat RHEL, RHAS,… source code, compiles, packages, and distribute them for free (CentOS) the free and unofficial distro of RedHat
Once again you didn’t pick the idea
April 4th, 2010 at 2:31 am
well, let’s have peace
Despite 99% of people calls it linux its correct name is GNU/Linux. (It would be more accurate to call it GNU) but anyway….
Do you always use GNU/Linux to refer to it? Dont you get the idea I was talking about?

there both free and commerical versions.

linux isn’t the os its the core the under pinnings, leran trhat before you speak of linux any thing.

Great Video! I am a happy ‘buntu user here.

Linux it’s not free. Do you know how much a red hat Advanced server license costs? Last time I check it around 2500 dollars. Is not free, preciserly, don’t you think.
Once again, People developing Linux are not hobbiest, LOL (Jesus crist!) despite I’m not a beliver, but Your arguments make me… anyway

Ok, ok let have this as it was the real motivation. As you argued before, linux is programed by people that are bad, so thier software it bad, right? How a corporation like google is going to risk their it’s credibility (and money, because they have contratcs that sure a linked to NO FAILS politics. Google can’t fail. never)
People at Google (people that took thhe decission) should be fired at light speed, using your arguments. The reality is other. Linux is not a bad OS.
April 4th, 2010 at 4:30 am
Do you think google has money problems to use linux as their insfrastructure? really? So they prefer to save some dollars? do you really think so LOL, LOL. Yopu don’t know how hilours it sounds, Don’t you heard my laught 7000 km away, at least?

People programing in “their spare time” are enginiers most of the time that love to code, to code in polite form (remember that their code is accesible all over the world) and their motivation is to offer solutions.
Never again say Linux (and open source) is programmed by “people in their spare time that are not good” It’s at least …hilarous.
there are good and bad developers, but at every where that afirmation is true, even at Microsoft (IExplorer, Vista…)
Bye bye!

Linux is given away for free and has 1% of the market. The majority of the people would rather buy an OS that doesn’t suck balls.
Google uses Linux because it is free. They will add their own proprietary code around the kernel and sell a linux distro eventually. OpenSource is a very good thing. Some of the best things have cam from it. PNG, JPEG and Plan 9 for example. But my point is if you are a company you can hire better workers that know more then your local hobbiest.

I will continue using open source (Linux and others…) hoping big coprs can’t break that philosophy. Because know what?
While Commercial software companies primary target is to earn money (and offer software solutions, off course) Open Source is based on offer solutions, the money (may be secundary, in some cases)

Have you heard about TOAD (toolkit for oracle)? It’s commercial software to adminster and develop Oracle DB. There is an Open Sorce Alternative called (TORA). That guy developed TORA in they spare time, really! I know what? TOAD people hired him (LOL)! they should be… No! They are definetly CRAZY! How a guy that develops in his spare time is going to be good enough!

Have you heard about eclipse? an IDE based on plugins extensible to the infinite! (also developed by that friends of us, people programing at their spare time, lol)?
Didn’t I prove nothing? sure? read my fisrt posts in this dialog, please!
You have a bad expirience with your hardware while using Linux. it was just by chance. Hardware fails, sometimes!
April 4th, 2010 at 6:31 am
But.. i´m not defending just Linux, I´m talking about Open Source, Linux is just maybe the most known soft of Open Source but there are others. Have you heard about Firefox? (a web browser developed by that programers in their spare time (lol when a red that!)) or Apache web server? (the web server that allow us such a funny time?) Have you ever developed software?

PART 1:
Nine years using Linux and other Open Source Soft it’s enough for me to prove it. How many time have you spent using it? and what for?
Linux has become a real alternative to Microsoft and Mac, even with no marketing campaigns. (How much money has Microsoft drop in marketing with Vista? What a fail!).
Linux it’s been used, improved and popularized by people that nows something abount OSes. Big sites as google, for instance, uses it (they must be dumb?)
April 4th, 2010 at 7:26 am
You proved no points or backed up any points with that worthless comment. How about we stay on the argument instead of trying to end it ignorantly.
April 4th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Your words were absurd and incongruous, not mines!
you put your own in an “no exit road”
I don’t want to spent more time with this dialog. Don’t disturb me any more
Thanks

Don’t be absurd. Microsoft hires the best of the best as does apple. They have the money and they want quality work.
April 4th, 2010 at 8:58 am
PART 2:
Maybe Microsoft’s human resources deparment were absentminded that day (the day they hire professionals)
Developers on Open source community are paid for their work most of time.

You don’t have to analyze work to know that it is bad.
Look at internet explorer. You cannot look at that code, but we all know that it is absolute shit. Right? Exactly.
April 4th, 2010 at 10:22 am
PART 2:
Its nasty to say that people work is bad, more over when you don’t know how analyze it, don’t you think?
About market owned by microsoft? two concepts MARKETING and STANDARD THE FACTO. but look at servers paradigm.

PART 1:
I’m tired to try nothing with you (about the dicussion) but…
You think it or you know it (let me aswer…you think it) Are you a software developer? Because I am… and you are totally wrong, if not look at IBM and others grabbing software developed by “people in their spare time that are not good programmers…” and selling it under IBM name (its a little bit complicated that that but…it works as an example).

Xorg is nothing to brag about. It is async which means it doesn’t update the full frame at once. This leads to flicker and tear. This is good when running Xorg over a network, but on the desktop, it is an annoyance. A bad one. Movies tear games tear everything tears. Xorg has problems with drivers as well. It is being re-written so it is getting changed almost every release. This breaks drivers and turns it into hell for your average desktop user.

Part 2
Try to automate precesses in gui mode, you will be jailed to GUI possibilities, “command line jail” has more room because it was the origin the rest services. It’s uncomfortable? maybe. watch you an 80 old years man using the mouse. Its a matter of practise and knowledgement!
In linux GUI leans in command line!
April 4th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Have you ever tried to administer an OS in GUI mode using a slow connection?
GUI layer is a limitation in most of cases. In an GUI centered OS if GUI fails you are… in troubles. X server is a service that allows you to work with graphics don you need it? don’t start it! If fails? try to fix it from other scenario (command line) the rest of your services can run an serve your users.
