finally, someone mentioned this!![]()
to each, their own. i'm a solaris admin by trade and we always bash windows at work. not because we don't like it. but because there are things that it can't do while solaris can. same goes with the windows guys, they always bash solaris for the things that it can't do. although it's not that many![]()
I generally don't bash any system, whenever i do it's just in a joking way. Everyone of them has it's merits.
There are good things about Linux, Unix, OSX and Windows. There are also bad things about them. There will always be things you don't like about any given system. That is what they are all different. People think differently to each other. Some people relate well to OSX, others to Windows and others love the Linux mindset.
Why waste time bashing others just because they think differently to you?
Talking about solaris, you could probably set up solaris in minutes to do what he wants. Mainly because you are knowledgeable with the system. It's harder to work on other systems because you are expecting it to work the way you want. For me personally setting up the Mac on the network took longer than i'd hoped, mainly because i was looking where i'd look in windows. (Although having to turn on file sharing in a special program rather than through a control panel applet was a bit strange).
