[HECnet] OT: Linux idiots

[Sampsa Laine]

At least with the BSDs you have like 3 variants.

Why do these morons insist there must be 300+ ways to package a kernel and the same userland tools?

Linux is 95% politics, 3% needless ABI/API changes, 1% new features, 1% championing a twisted version of freedom.

This generally applies to both the kernel and the distros...Linux inherited the nonstandard standards and incompatibility-across-distros thing from UNIX unfortunately. :(

LSB is NOT standard...RedHat is also not the    Gold Standard    for a commercial linux or a linux period.
