<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>All Operating Systems Suck!</H1><HR>
One question that arises frequently on alt.sysadmin.recovery is "Is there
any operating system that doesn't suck?"<P>
Of course, it's usually phrased as "AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! Aren't there
<I>any</I> operating systems that don't <B>suck</B>?!?!?!"<P>
The answer, as we all know, is no. All operating systems suck. They suck,
blow, bite, chomp, chew, spit, dribble, drool, blubber, blabber, and
puke. Every last one of 'em sucks in some way or other. They are
designed for maximal sysadmin discomfort by festering syphillitic
marketroids. <I>Not one</I> does not suck.<P>
In case you think otherwise, I have compiled the <I>Canonical List of
