First of all, your comment has nothing to do with the article The article was about the choice of CentOS 4.2. My rant was based around CentOS 4.3 specifically and Linux in general. That sounds related to me.
you're obviously trolling with a vague title to discredit Linux in general. I suppose that you are entitled to an opinion. But, I wasn't trolling for help or defamation. I was simply offering a very valid counterpoint to a syrupy article that positively gushes about Linux and CentOS. Just because my experience was different from his does not make my point invalid or a troll.
did you get your Microsoft payement of last month ? No. If Microsoft(or anyone else) were to pay me to post my real world experiences, such as I did here, that would be a great day indeed. But, the reality is that I haven't drank the Kool-Aid that you seem to have. I remain pragmatic and objective enough to realize that a security update, even to the kernel should not render a system inoperable.
Hopefully, developers of Linux and open source software will not be so quick, as you, to write me off as a troll and will instead see this as a recurring issue and an opportunity to improve the operating system and its applications. Those that choose to ignore or deny the existence of the problem are, in my opinion, destined for failure.
