APT/RPM "Compatibility"

[Brent Saner]

One of the guys in my LUG put this together and I thought you guys might get
a kick out of it; find some place for it in the wiki for instance. Attached
is the conversation we had off-list, which grants his permission to
reproduce it.

I'm not on that list, but feel free to pass this along.  I'm not 100%
sure 100% of it is correct, but...

I seem to have it marked as "Copyright (c) 1995-2007, JP Vossen. All
rights reserved" which is what my home-grown trivial CMS does, but I
hereby grant anyone permission to use or reproduce any/all of the
material from http://www.jpsdomain.org/linux/apt.html for any purpose
whatsoever.

Later,

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent,
everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
