I don't have the patience to try several versions of linux to have
one that likes
my hardware. Oddly I find linux a pain since that is becoming too
graphic for
my liking. Still I think things have be come far worse since
Dynamic link libraries
have come into effect. You never know what is linked in.
I guess I used to small programs and memory spaces.
It's only graphic if you tell it to be. I manage about half a
dozen Linux systems (for an employer) and none of them have had
monitors attached to them since they were installed. =)
But for *real* work, I run Solaris on Sun hardware. No messing
around; I have work to do. My PDP-11s are for hobby stuff...the
tools for work WILL *just work*, or they will hit the trash. Zero
tolerance, zero patience.
