Even if you are you need not worry. Some guys say "Conservapedia" can get you some balance ;-) > I can see kernel updates almost weekly at LKML/LWN. > I guess you are wrong! You don't even know about Linux you use and you are talking about BSD :-( Please see the facts http://bit.ly/aGmHyW It is more than a few times Daily! Or are you speaking about tagging the kernel source when you say weekly? Are those tagged sources usable in production? Now you will need a lot of updates when you have a lot of bug too. Why not write it clean from the begining and spent over time fixing bugs with updates? Now Comming to BSD I will just take one of them and you can decide if they have the same frequency of updates? http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/shortlog BSD is lagging behind? But wait a minute this is not what you said. You said GNU\Linux has * Frequent releases than BSDs. Go back and read if you forgot what you said. IF you want to re-define what you said we can proceed in that direction too. http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/pipermail/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org/2010-September/005327.html OpenBSD has had a new release every 6 months even before the proposed release dates some times :-) Debin is still lagging with the squeeze release? These links should give you and idea why even Linux projects want to follow OpenBSD :-) Please! Slashdot is more pro linux than pro bsd! http://bit.ly/bhUCRp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pkyDUX5uM Which GNU\Linux can boast of this? Well we will discuss this in my series on Software Quality, Release Engineering, Bug Fixing with real proofs and not just yelling nonsense like you without careful study.

Well when the truths are examined it is hard especially when you have made public comments without studying a matter. But that is your problem. If your way out of it is accusing the other one's attitude character etc i don't have much to say :-) > > I'm in.

When my friends come they ask her "How did you make this obvious mistake?" If you live some where near ekm and ard free come drop in to my house. Apart from the heated discussion I guess we should keep human relationships healthy. I am sure you will agree to that? :-) --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
