Now Hear This. This Group Is Linux Advocacy.

This NG is devoted to the advocacy of GNU/Linux, yet many posters
seem to want to use it as a forum for knocking Micro$oft/Apphole.

There is nothing wrong with knocking Micro$oft/Apphole, and they
sure as hell deserve it, but the important thing is to describe
or demonstrate the superior aspects of GNU/Linux irrespective
of any "competing" OS.

I can easily list several superior points:

1) Total user control of the OS and software environment, if the
user chooses to eschew popular distros.

2) Capability with any and all hardware present or past.  Obsolete
hardware is never obsolete with GNU/Linux.  Have floppies with an
ISA bus?  No problem.  Just check out the kernels, including
historic kernels, that are available at:

<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/>

3) Vast array of GUIs for both users and programmers.

4) The Linux network stack has consistently beaten all competitors
since the very beginning.

Gaming?  What about gaming?

Gaming is for sexually repressed idiot assholes and GNU/Linux
is not the place for gaming.

Let's hear some of your contributions to this list of superior
attributes.

Knocking Micro$hit/Apphole is not enough.  The superiority
of GNU/Linux must be laid bare.
