I disagree with the text. I find it too agressive towards Unix that
is described as something obsolete. IMHO the problem is not Unix per
se but the fact that the possible areas of Linux use are a superset of
Unix use and that those people who don't fit in the classic Unix
scheama have being ignored for years. Due to the fact those people
and those situations are unexplored territory for Unix the Linux
people should begin to design their own solutions.
