Co., Everett, WA Lines: 20 What is this about unix only being for ivory tower acedemics? The fact that you are using unix on this huge network should be an obvious testamonial to the fact that unix is easier to deal with than other available systems. You complain about not having any documentation so when you have to delve into the sources you get lost? Try it on some other OS. They don't have to provide documentation because they don't give you the sources either. If you want to make a change you are out of luck. Unix is the first operating system that lets you fix bugs instead of just working around them like on other OS's. Unix is the first OS that lets you make improvements and share them with other sites. In short, unix is the OS of the proletariat. The peoples' OS that frees us from the tyranny of the corporate bosses. Long live Unix, long live the glorious revolution.
