It has NOT worked properly since the 2.x days (and YES I do go back that far) and each version introduces more and more 'back flips' of things you have to do to get the job done. I love the fact that the system has to be locked down so tight it squeaks to keep the 'bad guys' out. Most of the systems I work with have not just one but TWO anti-virus systems. Every mail system in the world that touches a Windows system has to have anti-virus installed in case the system is infected, and so on. The other thing that I love about Linux is that there is usually more than one way to get the job done. Just is that the kernel developers have been infected with this 'got to include the kitchen sink' thinking as well. Makes it hell when you have to build a custom kernel to get it be within the reference monitor version of things. Anyway, let's see who sues who first....Should be interesting to see the hordes of lawyers going at each other.
