If you use Linux as a sword to defeat an enemy, when the enemy is slain,
your sword will be covered in blood. That's all I'll say about that.

If I was mentioning a technical issue, I didn't intend to. I am speaking
more about the way Linux is seen when it comes to RedHat vs SuSE vs
Slackware, etc. That alone is enough to start turning NT sysadmins away

clear enough about what I'm trying to convey.
