Would I be pelted with tomatoes (or tomahtoes if you'd prefer) if I asked what the difference is between Linux and Unix?

Since I've now tried both, I can honestly say that... Well, Linux is free.

It's easiest to think of Linux being a type of unix, in the same way that chocolate is a type of ice cream or glass is a type of sand. Actually the best analogy would probably be like saying what's the difference between Brand X tissues and Kleenex. Put simply, Linux is nothing to sneeze at.

Okay, moving on...

Am I the only person in the forum who played "duck duck gray duck" instead of "duck duck goose" as a child?

So is there irony in the song Ironic or not? Site upon site try to answer the question, but they seem to have different definitions of "irony" to begin with.

You're hijacking my thread. :P

I got me some mouse gestures. They're a good alternative for the extra buttons on my mouse.

Sorry, I must've thought this was the reply box for the PNQ thread. Oops.
