Oh, trust me, I do. I'm doing nothing but learning things, that is my forte.
I'm only negative when people are trying to make a believer out of me. In
addition to that, if I were you, I would refrain from making personal comments
about people you don't know anything about.

Good for them.

Like Debian? As it is hardly used in the commercial environment, I don't see
the point. Personally, I am more into honing my Perl and PHP skills. They are
much more valued in the job market.

Because it seldomly created any problems. The thing with HP-UX is that it just
works.
The only Unix machine that I ever saw returning "934" when uptime command was
executed
was gospuk1.telstra.com (I was working for the company named Telstra at the
time. This
revelation will make our resident Aussies hate me). Needless to say, it was an
HP-UX
HP-9000 box.

I didn't start the fire, it was always burning , since the world's been turning.
In other words, you were the one to start pushing Debian. Debian faithful are
like
Jehova's witnesses, fanatically devoted to their little cult and hard to get
rid of.

I like it the best, but not for the popularity reasons. Computer market is not
always a popularity contest. HP-UX is miss congeniality. I am not mister
congeniality,
but I will work for the world peace and will try preventing hunger and helping
the poor
and underprivileged.

Eh, but the problem was located and they were supposed to answer my question.
They refused to do so. They were treated accordingly.

My trustworthiness was not the problem here. My temper was. I tend to be
extremely
short-tempered when in contact with pricks or idiots. Again, please refrain from
making personal comments here. Believe it or not, I can make personal comments
and use pop-psychology with the best of them, but this is hardly the place for
such form of entertainment. BTW, you'd probably dislike me even more if I
described
you the treatment I gave to Jehova's witnesses that woke me up two months ago.
I didn't
know that they can run so fast.
