The article compares UNIX and Windows servers, and somewhere it says that ‘the reason for the longer downtime on Linux servers is caused by the lack of proper documentation.
Lack of proper documentation?
Ever compared Windows API documentation to UNIX manual pages? Even seen the plethora of sites that make these documents available on-line?
I think the writer of that article made a big mistake saying that (oh well, what else to expect from someone that uses ‘DirectX’ as a ‘nym). He really should’ve said that, the lack of recognition for the Linux OS makes companies hire the wrong, inferiour people (read: they let their Windows-guy do it) to maintain it.
Sure it gets downtime then. That’s like having your local butcher having fix your plumbing.
I really don’t see how the inability to understand a complex OS, renders the OS inreliable…
