HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU SAY THIS?

Its entirely a matter of taste, thats like saying that Coco Cola is the
best drink ever, cos you like it. Sorry but thats a crap argument. You
are arguing what is simply a matter of taste.

I don't like to see good people put down by people who know jack shit
either. Which is why when you lot slag off the work put in on the OSS
communittee, especially the debian crowd, that I get annoyed. Is this
not abit two faced?

My first apple computer was an Apple II that my father borrowed from work.
I have used macs on and off since. I even have a Quadra 610 or what ever its
called sat on the desk behind me. So please don't play that card. I was
using Macs when you was in primary school.

Yes, yes yes, thats all great. Now tell me, how many people use these
distros? How many people use this software. 

More relevant to the discussion, whats so revolutionary about these
things?

I don't want to get into willy waving, quite frankly I don't care how
big your penis is.

Oh I am not offended, don't worry.
