    @Linusti I never said that Linux had any AT&T or Berkeley code in it. However, working with UNIX OSes for Almost 20 years, I’ve worked with BSD, and SysV code, and play with Linux for fun. Basically the idea behind Linux in the beginning was, “let’s see how we can put this BSD or SysV functionality into Linux”. There’s only so many ways you can write loops, or open a file, so although not cut and paste, code is very similar. MULTICS is the one true OS from which AT&T was based.

    @datsG Heh… Couldn’t have described it any better with less words. He’s got it wrong on quite a few levels.

  4. Linusti says:

    @Nomoreidsleft Heh… It’s not got any System V code in there. In order to get the code in there, you’re going to trip across Copyrights. It should be known the company that claimed this is in a Chapter 11 proceeding, about to face the music for Lanham Act violations. And, it’s not heavily based on BSD- it’s something quite a bit different with bits and bobs from BSD (Which is legit, mind…) and stuff wholly new.

    WTF is that noise????

  8. jimmybrite says:

    Why do they insist on telling the facts wrong, that’s just not good practice.

  9. Nomoreidsleft says:

    Linux was not a new operating system. It’s Linus basically re-writing the UNIX kernel. It’s heavily based on BSD UNIX. With some creative copying of System V code, in a way that did not infringe on copyrights.

    Is that Captain Sisko?

    The IBM-Intel-Microsoft monopoly has ensured our level of technology has stuck to a very precise roadmap set out by IBM employee, Gordon Moore. It is the empirical observation that the transistor density of integrated circuits doubles every 2 years. Enabling them to sell us software and hardware at a known rate, allowing the software to demand the upgrade in hardware and vice versa.

    People should have listened to the “geeks”, 15 years ago. Linux frees us from the software, we need hardware.

    @tranmere789 So, If i send a child to Afganistan, ill shout at it and turn it off because it´s useless and has unrealistic hitboxes.

    A regional intergalactic power invades and subjugates a peaceful civilization. After decades of occupation, this civilization succeeds in throwing off the yoke of imperial rule and casting away their occupiers. It is then befriended by a powerful, benevolent civilization, which is charged with protecting the newly independent world by setting up a command center in a former mining station, which was stripped, retrofitted and improved and now running… Linux.

    Avery Brooks endorsing Linux is a big step in the right direction.

    i noticed that

    desktop effects?

    im out of the linux loop for a year and look what happens, its meta ctrl 12 to get the cube now lol.

    i love it, I though W7 was stiff competition there for a while, i adore the new kubuntu.
    i cant stand gnome but thats just my personal opinion, I like a lot of the widgets on KDE.

    I recommend anyone reading to look into the new Kubuntu or other debian distros, gentoo is fun but only if you like logic games

  22. Bartinili says:

    latest distro of ubuntu doesnt use beryl per-say i think they got around a lot of issues, with compatibility i couldnt use 8.10 on my Nvidea but alls good now

  23. oraclecrank says:

    This gives “enterprise linux” a whole new meaning.

  24. edwardrendon says:

    mention the real guy richard stallman He create this GNU/linux now known as linux by mistake

  25. DTurboKiller says:

    Oh I would, but I just don’t have any of the skills for that. But I wish.
    Right now Wine and Cedega are the best options, but if they were merged and free like they should be, using only donations with a bonus of getting the latest versions earlier, it would be a benefit for all of the community. But alas, Cedega team succumbed to greed. Bah.
    Ah well, as long as Winblows still works, I can get things done, not that it’ll last that long. Good thing Game Maker is trying to be cross-compatible…
