Samizdat

[Viva]

Has anybody else read this? I've never read anything as self-contradicting and poorly written as this. Really, if they want to spread FUD, they should spend the millions on a better and more reliable source than this contradictory ********.

Samizdat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat_%28book%29)

looks interesting, i might get a copy and see what it says, although after one quick skim i did see the words Microsoft and funds so im guessing it wasnt entirely unbiased:P

it might provide a few laughs,
Linus stole what he used ot make Linux from Minix, what a crock of poopoo, haha

The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution was notorious for being anti linux while it was in operation. I'm to lazy to check, but if you run a search on Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/) you should find quite a few threads.

it'd be an interesting read.

*spoiler*He includes interviews from various computer scientists to support his claim that minix is stolen(including one from the author of linux) and each one of them said that their quotes are misinterpreted and twisted. Tanenbaum showed him(Ken Brown) up here (http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/brown/):p
