Mea culpa: coming clean about my n00b Linux mistakes
A little over a week ago, I wrote a rant about how my Linux server had crashed. I was upset when I wrote the piece, having lost a lot of work. Since then, the article itself got almost 800 comments and even my respected colleagues here on ZDNet and elsewhere have weighed in.
To be honest, the cognitive disconnects amongst the most loyal Linux fanbois have concerned and disappointed me. I’ve long considered Linux the last bastion for operating system freedom and I’m learning that might not really be the case.
To have so many people jump down my throat because I wanted to migrate software I wrote was really demoralizing.

The author just does more complaining and whining, and his lack of knowledge of Linux is still there. He does not apologize.
