As far as I know, R2 comes with a new and much-improved SFU. SFU has always contained boatloads of UNIX utilities, including an NFS server and client.

And this was moded down why? Someone doesn't want to hear that R2 isn't as bad as they think it is?

Well when an individual becomes a strict ideologue, unable to discuss the different facets of certain stories they usually gain enemies. You shouldn't be so surprised, your username is a large target. Now I would actually want to hear from you on Windows related topics, since you've been very informative and even handed in that area. Perhaps that next “Linux” related post that comes up, you could give a broader analysis, instead of the usual “worst. OS. Eva”, I'm sure people would respect you more then.

PS: I didn't mod you down, just giving a theory on why you were modded down.
