So? They're phasing it in - doing it the smart way. Unlike a stupid
Wintroll, who might try to switch an important production machine to a
new and unfamiliar OS overnight, and then whine that it doesn't work.

*plonk* flatfish the loser.

When I read the title of this thread ("Munich Germany Adoption of Linux
Tanks") it reminded me of something amusing that I read some time ago.

"In the beginning was the command line", I think it was called. An
essay about Linux, and BeOS. At one point the author likens the
computing sales business to selling cars. Microsoft are selling crappy
vehicles. Apple are selling over-priced "luxury" models. And Linux
are giving away high-tech, low fuel-consumption tanks. Giving them
away. Free. And if something goes wrong with it, they'll come round
your house and repair it for you, also free, while you're asleep. But
people would rather give their money to Microsoft and Apple, through
some fear of the unknown.

The essay wasn't perfect. Extending the vehicle sales analogy, the
author likens BeOS to a batmobile that can fly. But it's a funny
piece, and it's also pretty perceptive. I recommend it, especially to
anyone thinking of changing OS.

I remember something like that quote too! At the time I thought .. how
apt! (no pun intended).

BeOS was indeed a Batmobile that flew, with Warp Drive and a Cloaking
Device. Damn those greedy Suits who destroyed the company: May they be
stuck in a continuous > /dev/null for Eternity.

they're probably using MS-Windows, that's punishment for a start.

No, they won't. Some open-force drill sergeant yells at you for being to
stupid to be able to pick the correct distribution of Linux or tweak
your kernel for your specific needs. Read the fucking manual, you
worthless scumbags! You've got no right to touch the keys of a computer
running an operating system designed by Linus, the Great One whose
genius you can't even hope to achieve one tenth of! Now drop and give me
10. Haha, that means two.

This very funny. Now all world see that it cost 273,000 Euros and 3
years per user to switch to lintard OS. This is much worse than tanks -
this is very stinky doo-doo. The lintard conversion city of Munich make
is like having shit on bottom of shoe.

Why do you follow a troll's game?
