Ah, the UNIX philosophy... Isn't it wonderful? We don't believe in
protecting the programmer from himself around here. Hell, we don't
even try to be helpful!
Well, we *do* give him complete on-line manuals, all the source, and most
important, we assume (incorrectly, it seems, at least in this case) some
measure of programming competence and creativity.
It's the the greatest os for the present time, and it sure as hell is a lot
better than most of the other os's out there, most of them user-hostile.
Anyway, *you* write a system which can be ported to umpteen million
different machines... And still be a win.
