[Pugged] Apache Bug

[Angie Tollerson]

Sometimes I think dissing Windows is as trendy right now as claiming to
be bisexual. We all know that Linux is more stable than Windows, blah
blah blah. But it's still a pain in the butt to use for sys admin
novices like me. Until Linux caters to the mass consumer like MS does no
loyalty will develop for Linux beyond the current circles.  It may be
unfair but it's there. 
I have made a great effort in the last year to learn everything I could
about Linux so I am well rounded in both platforms. But being called a
"fool" because it's easier for me to feel comfortable in the windows
platform isn't on my list of top 10 things people have said to me this
year. 
I'm about as weary of the ms/linux bantering as I was hearing about the
tabs in Florida. Let's put some energy into fixing stuff rather than
making fun of each other.
A little less noise, a little more action , as Elvis would say....

Yes, and there's also a high correlation between eating at McDonald's,
voting for Dubya, and running Windows. ;)  True, you'll have corner
cases
of people who run Apache on Windows, but I for one am content to adopt a
two-prong strategy of encouraging widespread Linux adoption while
consigning the fools to an all-MS ghetto... :)
