A Poor Workman Blames His Tools

KassemSaleh responds to wild accusations made by $in-gaporeans, that Linux is unreliable and requires tremendous amounts of maintenance.

A Linux machine set up by a guru will last for decades with little or no maintenance. The best part of it is, the installation work can be replicated on countless machines without incurring additional licence fees, so a few hours of configuration work spent on a machine could translate into millions of working Linux boxes - that's very useful and cost-effective, especially on an enterprise level.

I do not blame U for thinking that Linux is a high-maintenance OS, cos I come across $g "gurus" who do not know how to set up the OS correctly all the time. As I speak, these $g noobs are still fixing their Linux installations due to their past mistakes, while others have given up. Fucktards who claim that Linux is unreliable is a classic example of a poor workman blaming his own tools. If Linux were unreliable and required lots of maintenance, huge organisations wouldn't be choosing it over M$ Windoze to run on their servers.

Setting up Linux is in fact much easy than the Windoze shit, if the noobs READ THE BLOODY INSTRUCTIONS FIRST.

It is all in the instructions.
