Linux is a mess no matter how you slice it,
mostly thrown together by
script kiddies with no experience whatsoever...it's a bad idea to
judge the entire UNIX world on the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of
Linux, because as even the Linux people are fond of pointing out,
Linux isn't UNIX.
Which is why I use FreeBSD and Solaris. There also appears to be a
certain Linux versus anything else attitude, including Linux vs. other
UNIX-like, and UNIX flavors.
Nah, most of us are code sluts. We run whatever works best on a given
platform. And if you want to see real OS attitude, put a Solaris admin
across the table from an AIX admin. Then step way back.
