UNIX sucks

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-28 11:33

There's a setting for every petty little shit thing you can imagine, except for a custom path where you want apps to put their rc files and whatnot. I bet there was someone at some point in the design of UNIX who said "LOL lets clutter ~ with a million dot files and directories! Ha ha ha!!"

Face it: UNIX is gay.

a) What about dd, chmod, find, route, or any of the xterms? Why is it cp <src> <dest>, yet ln <dest> <src>? Why does ls -la work on linux, yet not on solaris? Et cetera.

b) You have got to be kidding. Every significant *nix out there has that layout, yet it's not a problem of the system?

e) I do it everywhere. Pure reflex. And of course, by default, root's ls is aliased to ls -la (as it should be), so dropping to root is annoying.

i) Maybe he likes it dispite the flaws? I certainly do. I just wish the flaws would go away. We'd have a better *nix.
