It's not the processes that count, it's the computer user. And
Linux and similar OSes are bad, according to Kulkis's ideology, because
they don't punish users enough.

Hmm. These strike me as "free" largely meaning "paid for by someone else".
With most of these projects, it seems to me the US Tax payer is picking up
the tag. (Thank goodness
I am not in the US). How much of the development do you suppose was done by
people
who took salary for the time they spent on the project but where their job
description doesnt
include "making free software"? Perhaps a lot of it was encompassed in terms
of "doing
research for the public good" and getting free software IS the public good.
However I suspect
a great many of those $$$ came one way or another from tax.
However, I do agree that those of us who download and use the products are
indeed enjoying
a largely free lunch (particularly those of us outside the US).

I was talking worst-case scenario for Unix.
First,... a typical Unix box can expect to go its ENTIRE LIFETIME
without suffering catastrophic filesystem damage.
Thus...for many Unix boxes...the call never comes...EVER.
In the event that it does happen, then you can do an instant-ignite
over the net, and then restore the backup from over the net.
... and I haven't moved from my chair.

AIX is a piece of crap. Personally, I don't even consider it to
be a true unix (Posix-conformance not withstanding)

Quite true. Most the early 1990's Unix machines I come across
