  Dunno how you managed to read that into my post.  All I said was that Unix
!= Linux.  Depending on what the application is, someone might want a
unix-alike rather than a Linux system, because they aren't the same thing.
Fairly simple to understand, I thought: the fact that you've read it as some
kind of value judgement suggests you're projecting your own preconceived
notions into my words.

  Chill, dude.  You got issues or something?  Get that chip off your
shoulder!
