Believe it or not, it's not that it doesn't run Linux that's my problem. It's that wonderful oganically grown filesystem layout that IRIX seems to love so dearly. Every system is different, but every time I log on to an IRIX box, I get this queasy feeling that "something is wrong with the force." > At anyrate, just have the decency to give some justification to your > argument, as far as we know, you are just a really bad sysadmin and > don't know how to admin the systems. You know. I don't really need to give you more reason that personal preference. That's what's wonderful about operating systems and being putting on the BOFH hat every once and a while. You are correct that you can assume no more than you know from the comment, especially if you reference no other emails to this list posted by yours truely. If you want to assume that I'm a bad admin, then go ahead. If you want to assume that I have lice, eat goldfish, and live under your bed, than I'm your boogie-man. IMHO, IRIX is a pain in the ass, and I'll be happy when I no longer have to deal with it. Qualifier for that statement, because I'm a BOFH. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
