Topic: It's 2013. How do you live without a linux box?
Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago#32,721
How do people get on in the world without a linux box? What if you want to run a VPN, a webserver, or a seedbox? Do non-linux people pay people to wipe their asses too?

This. At least half of Americans are using Linux and they don't even know!

i heard linux was made by hackers and so it has all kinds of backdoors and malicious code built right in.
i for one would never personally use it myself in my opinion.
edit: corrected "linix" to linux

Yes. Open sores means anybody can just access the OS and do anything they want.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linuxâ€, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux†distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Shut the fuck up, Stallman. Never post here again.

I've had a Loonix box for the past 15 years, thanx.

Are you kidding? Linux is 100% virus-free, dude. It's the OS they used in The Matrix.
