As Linus once commented to me, just let this stuff roll off your back
and ignore it.
Patrick, just ignore this smuck. If this is his opinion, people will
evaluate it
as such. Linux speaks for itself, and it's worldwide use speaks for itself.

As everyone knows, Joerg Schilling has a blog, and he often pushes his

Solaris is compared to Linux.
Well, he just fired yet another salvo at the Linux community:
http://schily.blogspot.com/2005/04/value-marketing-and-freedom.html
I commented on his blog entry, but I am afraid of being censored as my views
do not align with his, so I am including the text of my comment here:
////
I suggest people don't read too much into what Schily says. He thinks Solaris
is this almighty perfect operating system that crushes all others: The reason
Solaris is failing is because more and more people are switching to other
operating systems. And yes, Linux just happens to be the one that most are
switching to; BSD and QNX are also other choices.
Most of the people switching to Linux are not doing so because its GPL, not
because its associated with other Free Software, and not because the source
is available. They are switching simply because it is the best product out
there at this time; and as I see it, it will continue to be the best product
because Linux software developers are not sitting around arguing about what
license is better, or what features other operating systems have or don't
have.
Linux developers code, OpenSolaris developers sit around and flame Linux
developers instead of coding. Which operating system would _you_ choose?
