Revolution OS Video
If you’re a serious GNU, Linux, FOSS kind of guy/gal, and haven’t seen this movie, I highly recommend it. The beginning starts out with Eric Raymond telling a story about when he ran into a big wig from Microsoft. When asked who he was, Eric replied “I’m your worst nightmare.” Ya, It’s seriously nerdy…you’ve been warned
If Operating Systems Were Houses
What if Unix, Windows, Linux and OSX were houses?
UNIX is the old Victorian Mansion that was the first of it’s kind and set the standard for all things to come.
It is still considered one of the most solid and stable houses ever built since it was build by compliant construction practices.
It’s incredibly solid foundation allows it to be expanded upon and added to. This foundation has led to many other houses being built the same way and with the same compliance and care.
Windows is the government housing.
The houses are built quickly, cheaply and go up anywhere and everywhere.
Unfortunately since they were all built so cheaply, you end up spending twice as much later to keep the place standing.
The foundation is shaky at best and anytime you hang a picture, you worry about knocking the entire house down.
