Vive le difference I say. :) > > Doug Me parece muy diahuevo, cada vez que alguien habla bien o mal de linux me gusta porque sienten su presencia, como que dicen, "PUTA ESE ES LINUX", que diahuevo, no es la unica noticia pura mierda de linux que he visto, seguramente no sera la ultima, lo mas diahuevo es que son muchas mas las noticia diahuevo que las pura mierda. (sera que a freebsd al ponerle un modem nuevo y diahuevo truena a lo shuco, montano?? sera que al ponerlo en una red con NIS funciona bien? sera que con freebsd pueden hacer un vergon Beowulf? http://www.beowulf.org sera que pueden hacer sistemas multi-head de 3d? sera que pueden meterle Oracle? sera que pueden ponerlo en casi todos los primeros lugares de benchmarks de super computadoras como aparece linux? ?? ?? http://www.haveland.com/cgi-bin/getpovb.pl?search=Parallel%3A&submit=List+all+Parallel+Results http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?990313.whplace.htm http://access.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Headlines/990405.Roadrunner.html http://www.mercurycenter.com/svtech/news/breaking/internet/docs/350387l.htm http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?99039.ecsuperlinux.htm sera que pueden meterle una super business app como SAP R/3? sera que pueden correr java y tener un JDK? sera que pueden portearlo a las siguientes arquitec- turas: Digital ARM, AP1000+ Multicomputer, DEC Alpha, DEC MIPS R2000/3000/4000, PDA's (ej. PalmPilot), ELKS (8086, 8088, x186, x286), m68k (Motorola 68020, 68030, 68040, 68060), MIPS ARC (Advanced Risc Computing), NeXT Hardware, Macintosh family, IBM PowerPC, Apollo DN hardware, IBM MCA (PS/2, RS/6000, AS/400), Tandy Family, SGI (Indys, MIPS, Intel procesador hardware SGI), Sun Sparc (sun3, sun4c, sun4m, sun4d), Sun ULTRASparc, Digital VAXes, obviamente Intel 386+ (ia-32) y el futuro Intel Merced (ia-64). No hombre si puta ["DICEN"] que es mas diahuevo que linux! Facts vs. Fiction?? Preguntomosle a IBM, SGI, a Sun, Intel, Oracle, Sybase, Netscape, Siemens, por mencionar ALGUNOS porque entonces inviertieron pisto (dinero, marmaja, etc.:) en linux, tal vez porque es muy pura mierda como ["DICEN"]? Sera entonces que si hace todo esto no puede con grandes cargas? Sera que es un OS de desktop? Si ustedes saben de algun otro sistema operativo que haga todo esto y ademas este creciendo mas que linux en popularidad ( http://leb.net/hzo/data/r.9904.txt ) me avisan por favor, definitivamente me voy a switchear a ese sistema ya que definitivamente sera el mas vergon. :=) Otto Solares pro-linux y que @:*&! solca@fisicc-ufm.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
