    This is the one that insists that Unix fulfills all the definitions of a virus, right?
    The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

        I find the book funny because it mirrors books on the same subject for other opetrating systems, especially those claimed to be superior

            It's not, it's based on BSD.

              You're right. BSD is NOTHING like Linux.

                As a Linux home user who's currently coding for a NetBSD product, I couldn't agree more. Oh, how I wish NetBSD were more like Linux.
