Re: [BLUG] New OS

I've heard this particular story before. (Otherwise I would leave it
for Simón to explain.)

Simón means basically what he said. He didn't do anything to get Linux
to work. He thought his RAM was fine. It turns out it wasn't. When he
checked the kernel logs, he found one tiny message about the bad RAM
being bypassed. Linux checked for this and took action automatically.

Linux is the operating system where things just work better.

Cheers,
Steven Black
