>Dos is a good system, but i still prefer linux

Ok, I was gonna mention this before when someone used the phrase 
"dos/linux"... why is it that people are comparing _DOS_ to linux?  In terms 
of operating system features and advancement, linux is more comparable to 
Windows NT than dos.  Linux just happens to be better than NT in 90% of 
every way possible.

DOS, it can be argued, does not even fit the definition of an operating 
system. No threading.  No multi-processing. _very_ limited memory 
management.  At best, DOS is an advanced program loader, so please don't 
compare it to Linux/UNIX/BSD, just because they are both historically 
command-line oriented.

Cheers,
Ben.

PS: If I sounded a little irritated, I apologize, I didn't mean to be hard 
on anyone.
