MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERSMORE CLUELESS LINUX USERSPosted Apr 16, 2008 19:12 UTC (Wed) by dulles (guest, #45450)Parent article: Interview: Fedora developers Seth Vidal and Will Woods (Red Hat Magazine)
MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERS The replies to my simple comments about yum and the "Redhat Network" show just how clueless most Linux users are. By definition, an OS is a managed system. Apparently, Linus Torvalds never learned to manage his Linux OS. The "install hell" all Linux users experience is just one symptom of his lack of design from day one. OK, I'll stop there, because I know most Linux users are "PHP for Dummies" quality engineers. :)

MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERS Posted Apr 16, 2008 19:15 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] "Stop here" is the best thing you've said so far. If you don't respect LWN's readership then so be it, but please respect our desire to not have this kind of trolling on this site.
MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERS Posted Apr 16, 2008 20:33 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] I dunno, if the trolling remains *this* obvious, there's not much danger that it'll get much response.

FIX_IT_YOU_MORONS (apropos) Posted Apr 17, 2008 11:49 UTC (Thu) by Janne (guest, #40891) [Link] Damn, this dude seems to be having some "issues"...
FIX_IT_YOU_MORONS (apropos) Posted Apr 17, 2008 19:40 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Gods, yes. I mean, what's the first thing you think of when you think of free software? Unresponsive bureaucratic monstrosity without any feedback mechanisms at all, of course! Quite different from the infinitely-responsive world of proprietary software, where an intermittent bug seen by one person can lead to the primary developers of that project dropping everything for a week to track it down... ... oh, wait.
MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERS Posted Apr 17, 2008 16:58 UTC (Thu) by lysse (subscriber, #3190) [Link] Sure you don't want to add the "ignore user" facility I keep harping on about? ;)
Ignore user Posted Apr 17, 2008 18:28 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Yes, I do want to add that facility. It's just a matter of some programming, and, especially, a stronger server which can do more individualized processing. We're working on it...

MORE CLUELESS LINUX USERS Posted Apr 17, 2008 7:06 UTC (Thu) by Janne (guest, #40891) [Link] Like I asked before: Why do you keep on bringing Linus in to this discussion? Your beef seems to be with "Linux OS". Fedora is a Linux OS. Ubuntu is a Linux OS. Gentoo is a Linux OS. Slackware is a Linux OS. Are you saying that Linus created each and every one of those OS'ës? Here's a reality-check for you: Linus Torvalds created the Linux-kernel, Other people (and companies) then created operating-systems around that kernel. And those OS'es use different means of installing software. How those OS'es handle that task has NOTHING at all to do with Linus Torvalds. Linus and the software he created is not responsible for handling software-installations. So you have problems with Red Hat Network. Complain to Red Hat then. Linus Torvalds has nothing to do with Red Hat Network. His domain is the kernel, and the kernel does not concern itself with installation and removal of applications. If you want to continue this discussion, my advice to you is that you educate yourself on the subject-matter. Then we might be able to proceed. But as things are right now, you comments just reeks of flamebait and ignorance.
