Re: Old Unix Geeks unite...
Ahhhhhh... another soul who appreciates old computer humor... that's what I like about this forum. Lots of old-minded (though not necessarily "old") computer geeks like myself...

Re: Old Unix Geeks unite...
Har har har, I remember that. I read one almost
exactly like that a LONG time ago by Eric Raymond
I think it was.
Damnit it's pissed me off ever since I saw the
first one too.. I still have no idea what Vadic
is :PPPP

You're not old, just a geek
Seriously, i'm turning 28 this year (i think, i'm not sure, well i forgot ) and i don't feel old. Last year i started playing football here in Belgium at age 27. Yes that's football and not soccer. I had a bLast and a very good season as "rookie".
So, unless your brain is refusing to execute commands, you're not old
Also, look at what linux is doing, it's slowly starting to become more popular. FreeBSD, OpenBSD you name it, *nix like OS's have always been popular on servers and are usable on desktops too. I have a suse 7.2 server at home to share my internet and my machine is a quadriple boot: win98, winxp, debian (test Version), debian work Version. My debian work partition has the latest stable 3.0.3 kde, 2.4.19 kernel, xfree 4.2.1 and so on. It think linux makes quite a nice os.
Now i'll stop rambling.

Re: Old Unix Geeks unite...
bsd Users and you new-wave linux hippies dont qualify as old time unix geeks. speaking of the *nix or un*x or whatever revival, did you guys know that novell and their child companies are going to start developing for linux? im not sure if its good or bad, but it bears watching.
I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with the inventor of netware Last week, and it sounds like they are going in interesting directions. with new technologies. as a qualifier, i have long discounted novell as being on a long downward spiral, destined to be a thing of legacy environments (not because of inferior technology necessarily, but because of market positioning and certain choices in product development). now im wondering.

I used unix back in school. linux was the only unix like os (that was free) at that time to play around with.

How could this be a bad thing?
