I went to a dinner party/birthday party type shindig tonight - and ended up in a rather heated debate with a bunch of closed-source (closed-minded) OS-B sysadmins. I was trying to sell open source, and the spirit of community driven OS-A, but was met by a wall of "oh well, if it's open source its easy to hack).
I informed them that open source allows backdoors to be patched before they become an issue, but they were not amused!
I spent three hours ranting about OS-A at them and got nowhere.
They (my wifes friends) were not impressed!
Anyway - has anyone else annoyed their wives friends by ranting about their favourite OS?
Cheers
