He is probably right. But with that being said, I find him to be rather smug. Sorry its just my opinion and I mean no insult to people who associate with him.

Maybe somebody will write an underground Lion book on how to configure it.

Wow, that is really well stated. I respect Unix, but it ain't the OS for me. Good analogy. :)

Yes, yes, and yes. He fails to mention that UNIX functions far better than the mainstream operating systems, but that's just what I'm told by folks who use both :) Either way, it seems to be a damn good analogy.

Is polyamory also as much stabler than monogamy, as Unix is than other OSes? :)

Poorly documented? :(

[yesthattom.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. I think there is a great need for a "best practices" book.
