“Stop claiming that each version of Linux is an evolutionary
improvement on the previous version. The computing populace has
been trained to believe that throwing out a design because of
serious flaws, and starting over with a ‘complete re-write’ that

bugs resurface with exactly the same symptoms in the ‘new’
software.“Sell a really flaky distribution of Linux. Follow it several
months later with a new version and claim that it is 20 times as
reliable as the previous version. Market it as being a huge
improvement, and forget it was junk to begin with…”
