Funny to see Linux zealots bad-mouhing alternatives, the irony is striking.

In case you didn't notice the Haiku zealots are bad-mouthing Linux. The reality shows where this haiku is and it's nowhere. Puppy Linux kill it!

I read this is justifying another free OS by pointing out deficiencies of the popular one.

It's not necessary for Haiku to beat Linux of today in its R1 release, it just needs to beat Linux of 2001 (that is, after all, its goal: Be BeOS in 2001). With the R2 release in 2015 or so we will see whether it's going anywhere worthwhile or whether it simply can't compete.

I doesn't matter who is bad mouthing whom; it's all very juvenile and tiresome.
