Spare me the coding standard arguement as Unix set the standard and Linus plagerized it,plain and simple.The security and stability angle won't hold water either as buffer overflow vulnerabilities with the Unix wannabe 2.4 Linux kernel are well known and W2k has just been awarded the highest Common Criteria rating ever achieved.Consequently,the USG is migrating over to single W2k/W2k3 domains from everything else as fast as they can find competent Windows techs to do it.I've met a few Oracle DBA's that lost their 6 figure jobs in the process trying to get Microsoft cert'ed.
If your still caught up in that "free shit/Microsoft sucks" pretzel loop and don't want to get caught on the wrong side of a Federal court order in the near future, consider switching to BSD.Linux will never come close to it's stability or security as BSD is LEGAL open source.The only advantage it currently has is SMP scalability and it should be obvious where that came from and where it's going to end up.Linus will never be that good either.
So I assume I'm stuck waiting for Doom3/HL2/PainKiller to be released so I can run human servers as there will never be the equivalent of FuZionBot after steam?Even in a short lived Linux version?...or in Houston via gazme?

i won't comment this, but eh it's political and you sound like voting for some guy pretending god send him on a miss...
cheers anyways ;-)
p.s.
i cant stand it after having worked with se@freebsd,org:
FreeBSD ain't no open software, you know that don't you ?
release cycles, commit access and all that stuff that makes up linux, which is not SMP or NUMA, i don't need that, my kernel does not have that code, cause it aint' no supercluster or mainframe. i if would run one, i'd choose AIX or FreeBSD but who runns NUMA systems ?
Oh and for whinedoze having cert's, they must have removed IE and installed Netscape/Mozilla! *ggggg*
