Linux Tramulous 5x bettar than Windlows Tramulous

KNOWN FACT: it's called GNU/Linux, get it right

GNU is no more important to linux than the applications that run on it. With linux GNU is possible

GNU was the operating system created by Richard Stallman and others, it was never meant to use linux as its kernel (in fact linux didn't exist when development on the GNU operating system started), then in the early 90's (?) linus came along and modified minix into what eventually became the kernel linux, GNU runs just fine without linux though, GNU has been shown to run on GNU Hurd as well as the netBSD kernel. i personally think that they would prefer people just call it GNU, but the word linux has become associated with the OS, so if they leave it out people won't know what they're talking about.

Oh FFS.... Please, not the fsckin "IT'S GNU/LINUX!!!111" argument again *sigh*

As a certain advertising campaign says, let's get the facts.

1. By the time the Linux kernel was actually useable (mid 90's) much of the core GNU project was in a mature state. There was a full ten years between the beggining of the GNU project and that of Linux.

2. Linux took the place that the HURD kernel was meant to take (HURD is the GNU project's own kernel), but, after 14 years in the making, HURD still isn't complete. The FLOSS community of the time needed a free kernel, and HURD was even more broken that it is today (yes, that is possible...) and Linux filled that need. This is when Linux began to "take off", as it were, as there was now a completely free OS. Linux kernel + GNU system.

3. Linux was and is developed using mainly GNU tools. The GNU project started in 1981 to replace the main set of standard proprietary UNIX tools of the time. Linux and apps are built with GCC and friends.

4. GNU was being used in many commercial and some free unicies a long time before Linux was around. You need a suite of tools before you can develop a kernel. GNU constituted much of that suite.

Soooo... GNU appeared first and was used to develop Linux. Linux then became a popular kernel and was distributed with the then already well-known set of GNU tools. This combination rapidly became very popular first in the community and by the late 90's in many servers (think Apache). This continues to the state Linux and GNU are in today, i.e. a commercial grade system deployed by many major businesses and organisations as a server and now even a desktop OS.

BUT, to people who bang on about "Linux made GNU possible" and "OMG!!! GNU WAS THERE FIRST LINUX WUOLDNT EXIST WITHOUT IT!!": Just stfu. They're both necessary components of an OS. Whatever the situation was in the past, just live with it. They're now mutually dependant and work well together so BE HAPPY.

Currently, GNU, Linux and apps are all just as important. The apps won't run without a kernel and system software, and a kernel and system software are useless without applications to run on them. You need a kernel (Linux), system software (GNU, etc.) and applications (Tremulous) to have a USEFUL WORKING SYSTEM.

His gimmick isn't really funny.

[rasz_pl]

GNU was the operating system created by Richard Stallman and others

HAHAHAHahaha
The only thing Stallman did was STEALING Emacs code and SELLING it for >$100.
There was NEVER a GNU OS, and propably never will be.

KNOWN FACT: you cant spell Tremulous when its 2 inches above your stupid post!
KNOWN FACT: you cant spell ANYTHING
KNOWN FACT: you need to go back to school!

[kevlarman]

all right i give up arguing with you guys. can we stop it with the flame war now?

[Thorn]

Maybe give this guy , And Digibyte there own personal spam spam thread. It would be very amusing for us

Known FACT:  Linux tramulous plays 5 x faster than windosw tramulous

FALCE! If this happen you are sertain to have used the rong drivars! you have to use Microsoft Certifyed Drivars Programs Drivars to use tremulas proprerly.  I would be suprized if you linax's drivars are any good since they are not Ceritified.

"]
KNOW FACT:  Linux tramulous more secure

FALCE! Windows is more secure!  1) Windows has antiviras programs to keep you secure 2) windows has malware detention 3) Windows has auto up to date softwares!  I don't think your linex has any of this things because it is freeware and has no professional pepole to make it enterprize class security like windows

"]
KNOWN FACT:  Linux tramulous more easy to work on other pgoramars with

FALCE! Windows has COM, +COM, DCOM, ActiveX, .NET, and ASP that makes it more easyar to programee with other softwares that at linex that has none of this things.  Linex only has things like .BAT which is from 1980 and sucks and has not even Vizual Stuidos!

"]
KNOWN FACT:  Linux tramulous have bettar network supports cause timbo great programmar for tramulous but only l,inux version  

FALCE! Linex has terrorble netwarking cause of unprofessional programmars and lackings of professional source code mastars.  timbob does obvious have knowladge of windows programee since he make windows version of tremulas! r u dum or what!

"]
KNOWN FACT:  windows is buggy and insecurity

FALCE! Windows has not much bugs any more.  My windows never crashs except when i run programs i should not run.  Besides any bugs microsoft fixes and they auto up date for my windows.  beet this linax!

 :eek: Now you knows windows usars!!

I am think you are dumb 2

This has to be a joke.

[Caveman]

It's no joke. Just a looser talking to himself. (at least he/she/it has his/hers/its 'their' and 'there' straight, unlike some here)
