RE: Off Topic Question - Update.inf file
Hey Shrek, that could go both ways... Regarding... ...linux users that are just windows users in disguise. And... someone had installed linux... and he couldn't tell the difference. It depends on your perspective. The above could also be interpreted to mean, There are a lot windoze user that are closet Linux users but just don't know it yet. This is just my misplaced optimism that somehow the MS juggernaut ownership of the desktop could somehow be challenged. I use Gnome and KDE but the shell gives me complete power to do anything I want just like being root on any *nix. You can't say that about the DOS remnant of a command shell with windoze. Regarding Microsoft's macro-hard hegemony, I'm still looking for justice in an unjust world. :-( Steve Orr -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 11:35 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Joe Testa scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon: Good point, i'm such a bigot as i used linux back when it was minix and have been doing unix admin work for 20 years now ;) joe well, unlike you there are now starting to be a number of linux users that are just windows users in disguise.;-) case in point, duheveloper comes to me with his laptop and tells me his windows oracle doesn't work anymore. someone had installed linux on the laptop with dual boot defaulted to linux running gnome. and he couldn't tell the difference. boot into windows and every thing works fine. -- Bill Shrek Thater ORACLE DBA BAARF Party member #25 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Orr, Steve INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

This is an excellent point. Anybody remember when there was (is?) a stigma associated with being an AOL user, as opposed to using a real ISP? AOL made things easy enough that the less adept could 'get on the internet', where they were generally reviled by the old-hands, who were more of a select, 'nerd' elite. My guess is it'll be the same thing as the less technical people start migrating to linux.

Hi! The problem is, that the simpler a software (or anything) gets, the more you'll have self appointed experts who think they are very good. A lot of you have probably seen guys who say hey, we got RAID-5, we don't need to do any backups. I have dealt with a guy, who told that linux is architecturally so good, that you don't have to make any backups from it. He left the company short after that.

Re: Off Topic Question - Update.inf file
Good point, i'm such a bigot as i used linux back when it was minix and have been doing unix admin work for 20 years now ;) Yep, it was initially supposed to be compatible with minix, used it's file system etc... I just read Linus'es posts to minix newsgroups from archives about his small project back at '91 or so, where he stated that his experimental OS for hackers isn't ever going to be as big and professional as GNU Hurd for example...
