Linux Hater

2008-06-04

很久沒有那種找到知音的感覺了。雖然大多數內容都是諷刺或帶憤世嫉俗的語氣,但的確說出了許多 Linux 用家的心聲。以往也想過自己寫些甚麼的 (事實上也寫了兩篇稿給 LinuxPilot,但角度不同),但就是沒法谷着那一口烏氣去寫出來,要寫也寫不出那麼辛辣的英文語句。

不過找到臭味相投的人,都是多得 Planet GNOME (我說的是這一篇)。如果是平時,早就一笑置之,看也不再看一眼,但昨天竟失了常性,把那種視用家如低等動物的「開發者」臭罵一頓。這幾年來我的忍耐力一天比一天差了。那個「開發者」到最後算是半道歉地解釋他不是討厭那個 blog,雖然看不到有任何反話的成份(倒比較像是那些自封為神的開發者踐踏用家),但也就算了。

但有一點是可以看到的,那類叫用家滾回 Windows原教旨主義者絕對是 Linux 失敗的毒瘤之一,雖然這種毒瘤是割不完的。

想來,我也該是時候貼 LinuxPilot 那些文章出來了。

Ordered Oracle’s Unbreakable Linux

2008-06-04

I just requested a set of Unbreakable Linux DVD from Oracle. Well, I never expect it containing anything exciting, but at least unlike some of the Chinese Linux distro — replaced Redhat logo, replaced brandname, and viola! A new distribution version 1.0. (Did they modify licenses? I don’t know.) My guess is that Oracle’s Linux also has optimized config and kernel for Oracle  database and big irons, as well as some extra candies. Who knows?

One wish though: I don’t want it shipped to my home with such huge box anymore. Especially just for a piece of DVD only. For comparison, there is Solaris 10 DVD package on top of Oracle 8i box. Probably it’s American tradition to waste 80% of resource on earth through these ways?
