Sure, you can throw hand grenades at Unix, but when the smoke clears, all the little parts will still be twitching. In an hour or two, Unix will reassemble itself, and start shuffling towards you again with that blank zombie stare. (And in today's cutthroat operating system market, being undead is probably a survival trait.)</p> Fri, 12 Apr 2002 00:00:00 +0000 urn:uuid:bc16b7b4-4ed2-4e96-9308-8fcba630e12d Eric http://www.randomhacks.net/articles/2002/04/12/unix-is-a-zombie http://www.randomhacks.net/articles/trackback/5
