Re: Linux has a flaw.
I use Java's virtualbox to play around with the different operating system, its a great tool to have.

You mean Sun's virtualbox, where Java is Sun's programming language. But yes, virtualbox kicks ass.

Yes, the sun's virtualbox. That's a good program to play around with other operating systems. I wonder why microsoft never patched the IE 6 bug sooner?

Cars have a flaw. If you drive them into a tree they stop working.

Linux is used by homosexuals, shut-ins and basement dwellers.

They think that they are NOT prejudiced because they own a color TV.

Re: Linux has a flaw.
If a user has access to a sudo password, they could destroy the operating system. It is a security risk. I an not an idiot, I was just pointing out a security risk using the sudo command. Take a pill or try decaff, geez.

Yep, windoze has the same flaw. If you have the adminstrator password you can destroy the disk, so what's your point?

btw... a good admin places his sys files on a seperate partition.

Re: Linux has a flaw.
OP, the equivalent can be done by an admin on any operating system.

Have you ever tried the following on a Windows machine?

Re: Linux has a flaw.
Was Linux written from scratch or did Linus use the UNIX code to build it?

Linux started from Minix, below is Linus's beginning Linux email.

Newsgroups: comp.os.minix
Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus ([email protected])

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.
