On or about Oct 7, 2001 at 15:17 [-0400] Evan Sarmiento proclaimed: ; I have indeed taken it to his superior, which is the Systems ; Analyist for Boston University. The Systems Analyist ; said he would have a chat with my school's technology coordinator ; about the situation, but said that this should ; not be happening. ; ; Hopefully, by the end of the week, I will be able to ; use my laptop on the network. Unfortunately, you've just put yourself in a situation that makes your life more difficult than it was to be. By going above his head, he now longer will put trust in you about any matters, and quite frankly - won't listen to you anymore than he did previously. Candidly, I hate Novell and Microsoft products as they're crap. However, there's a business need for them - they're for idiots that don't want to think and/or don't want to waste their time dealing with bullshit matters everyday (yes, all Unices have them, and if you think not YOU need to get a clue). Unfortuantely, Microsoft has come up with a fairly decent technology (by most technology standards, it's "decent") when they designed AD (or ripped it off, depending on who you believe). It's no more horrible than HTTP or even LDAP. It's a piece of a puzzle - and how you incorporate your technologies into it is what matters. There's justifiable reasons for using Microsoft. There's justifiable reasons for running VMS. There's justifiable reasons for running Tru64. What we fail to realize as open source advocates is that there *is* a large portion of the world that has existed without us in the past, and will continue to do so. By assisting these corporate blokes in improving their products by evaluating, testing and commenting on them, you'll push their standards, and your own, further. -#0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
