tlug: "Linux myths"

[Matt Gushee <mgushee@example.com>]

What interesting times we live in! Reminds me of that (apocryphal?)
Chinese curse.

I had to laugh where they listed Unisys among the companies that
promise 99.9% uptime. I recently spent a few months at a major
insurance company where Unisys was in charge of NT deployment and
system support. Well, for all I know the servers may be up 99.9% of
the time, but maybe somebody forgot to tell them the client machines
were supposed to work, too. Let's just say it was worse than a
nightmare.

Oh, yeah? I'd like to see them try to hire RMS, Eric Raymond, Larry
Wall, Jamie Zawinski ...
