[ale] Unix Vs Linux

[Benjamin Dixon]

I don't think its really an issue worth argument these days.
There's so many cases in which one can beat out the other in the slightest
way and provide no useful day-to-day application. What does your friend
mean? "Unix" beats linux in every aspect? I doubt it and I doubt the
reverse as well. For general use the speed increases that one posseses
over the other are probably marginal and not noticeable on today's
hardware. Which is another thing, has your friend run "unix" (oh so many
flavors) on the same hardware as he's run linux. All told, I think its a 
moot point.
