If that IDE update contains os2cdrom.dmd build 10.156 you may not want
to apply it as all it does is destroy existing directories/files on udf
formatted dvd when writing to the dvd.

Each of them has advantages over the other. I guess I tend to prefer
Linux, but that's because I have a lot more experience with it than I
do with FreeBSD.

I have been using BSD for just on 25 years, so I guess that's one thing.
And it's generally more secure...and no plethora of distributions to

Re: IBM Releases More OS/2 Updates...
You're trolling ross -- and you're clearly a *complete idiot. ecs is
commercial product. Do you know what the word "commercial" means???
Linux is not a commercial product. It has to rely on volunteers.
When a commercial product has no developers -- but freeware volunteers --
to do the work, it means the product is dead. Its not earning enough
income to pay anyone do update or maintain it as a commercial produce.
This also means that any cash flow is being pocketed by booby st. john
while the believers are giving their time and talent to a dead cause.
Now grow up and stop playing asshole in the newsgroups.

Re: IBM Releases More OS/2 Updates...
Learn to take notes hubert. You know from experience that you can not keep
up without doing that; In this thread, its one of your ecs
partners-in-stupidity claiming the ecs use of freeware programmers to get
anything done, is the same as linux.
The fact is; ecs is a completely failed commercial product that now relys
on the gifts of freeware programmers to get anything done, while the
con-man owner keeps any cash coming in.
Its ain't look good out there in ecs-land. I'd shut up now if I were you,
least you show the world just how dumb you are.

Only complete idiots buy ecs at this point; The life-cost is more then OS2
from IBM, and ecs has no professionals on the staff. The most critical
updates -- even to install IBM released OS2 updates -- come from freeware
authors volunteering their time, and money and talent. -->While booby

Re: IBM Releases More OS/2 Updates...
Captain's log. On StarDate Sat, 04 Jun 2005 02:17:59 -0400 received comm from
rsteiner@visi.com (Richard Steiner) on channel comp.os.os2.misc:
: Each of them has advantages over the other. I guess I tend to prefer
: Linux, but that's because I have a lot more experience with it than I
: do with FreeBSD.
They do have some technical differences (which could be deciding in some special
cases), but generally I agree it's mainly a preference issue based on your
personal taste and experience. I personally prefer FreeBSD because of it's
greater UNIX heritage which I have a little bit more experience with.

You seem to be more concerned with trying to divert attention from the
fact that you've made a preposterous assertion and look like a prat.
You're the one who keeps trying to make this an argument about eCS.
I'm arguing about 'anyone or any company'.

ECS is only as dead as OS/2. So yes, in a sense, ECS is dead.

Really? What assertion is that? -->ecs is a commercial product. It is
now relying on freeware authors for *critical *components. Only a
complete ****ing moron -- that's you -->would try to claim thats normal
and good.
It means ecs is dead, the company behind it is *broke. Or they would hire
staff to do the work. Now smarten up and stop the trolling.

You're really not following this very well... perhaps you should take
notes, as you suggested to another poster. This is the assertion I'm
talking about:
