You must have been out in the "Sun" too long, my friend, you've gone
"squirly" First, you've given us no hard evidence except your word, which
after reading your assertions above, doesn't count for much. Second, you
have given no basis for comparison here. Were you running Linux on a
386 and comparing performance with a Sun UltraSPARC II ? Jesus, you must
learn to be specific!

Oh yeah, Maestro, that's the reason.

Yeah, and if Linus were to have believed that piece of crap philosophy,
there'd be no Linux today. Oh yeah, I have $2000 to throw away for software
and another $10,000 for a clone SPARC. I hate people who think like you do:
If I pay a heck of a lot of money for something, it *must* be worth it!
There's no such thing as free software. If it's free, it must suck!
You know what, just shut up, retardo.

Oh, another scintillating tidbit from the Maestro! Any idiot worth his
salt as a computer user would tell you AIX stands for Ain't unIX! Jesus, AIX
command interface reminds me of what a 2 year old kid on acid would type
if given a keyboard. That does it, you are officially a moron! Now shut up
and die! :)

Yeah, you're a two-bit alright!
