[geeks] *sigh*

I would agree with most of this except i am not particularly enamored with OSX and i would place IRIX (IF it was still supported/developed) in the UNIX list above HP/UX and True64.

I understand that Linux has tons of issues, but if i had to choose between Linux and OSX for stability, there's no question which one i would take.  HFS+ has a lot of work to be done to be anywhere near XFS.

I'll be moving from the US to Japan by October 2007 and most of my possessions MUST BE SOLD, as it is too costly to ship them to the other side if the planet :)

So keep checking the KRM eBay Store between now and mid-late September and you might come up on some pretty nice bargains on all kinds of different stuff.

The KRM eBay Store!
