Ward, nobody cares about that old unix cruft.  In fact, old pre-GNU unix is 
overrated, ass backwards, not friendly, and in today's day and age:  
irrelevant.  Old unix was brilliant for its ideologies, but certainly not its 
implementations.

Who the hell puts binaries in /etc ?? Old unix does!

I'd much rather see someone brag about replacing the Xandros distro on the new 
Asus EP laptop.

Get with the times man.
