A wise physician I know, on a Linux forum made an interesting statement after watching a thread that degenerated.

He commented on the old popular rap song, "My Milkshake"

For those unfamiliar with it, you're not necessarily missing that much, but the lyrics are,
"My milkshake brings the boys to the yard
"And they're like, 'It's better than yours,'
"D**n right, it's better than yours,
"I'd teach you but I'd have to charge."

It struck me as frightenly appropriate.
Here's a question for those of you with your anti-Linux sigs.
Ok, Linux is not Unix. (Neither are the BSDs, officially, but we're all so elite we know that's wrong. I mean after all, FreeBSD is one of the systems in O'Reilly's Essential Unix Administration--oh, wait a sec, so is RedHat--well, we're Unix anyway--no, that's U-N-I-X, NOT
E-U-N-I-C-H-S, you fools.)

Anyway, Mac OS X is an official Unix. Now, you need to hire someone to run your mail server on FreeBSD, say postfix. Your two choices are the Linux admin who's been running postfix on an RH server (not using webadmin) and a Mac OS X expert, who's worked at the genius bar in
an Apple store and knows all about Mac OS X, an official Unix.

Which do you hire?

Sorry, folks, it's a hot day, I'm not in a good mood. However, as that role model for all of us, Michael Jackson sang, "I'm starting with the man in the mirror..."
