1. Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
2. When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*'.
3. Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
4. Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.

2. Not using Version control system is like driving a car too fast: it's fun and you might get to your destination faster, but an accident is inevitable. - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-vercon/
3. A simple description of ssh is that it's a secure version of telnet, but that's like saying a Porsche is a just a better version of a Volkswagen bug. - http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/creating-secure-tunnels-ssh

... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed." - Unix for Dummies, 2nd Edition

Security is a chain; it's only as secure as the weakest link
ReplyDeleteWindows, you might earn a lot of money in your life but you will never earn respect. You might find your way to every home and children might love to play games on you, but computer scientists and hackers would stay away from you. They would choose Linux instead. You will only manage to become an idiot-friendly operating system but never a useful operating system.
