I am actually a fan of Unix/Linux. And C arrays/pointers must
be groked early, if you want to survive the art of any serious
C programming!
But the text looks like an amusing read, so I'll read it on my
commute home. It'll be interesting to see what some folks find
to hate about Unix. The only detracting thing I find about it,
is simply the fact that it is well steeped in C.
But then, prior to Unix, O/S's were usually steeped in
assembler language (like OS/2 for a modern example). C has
been a big improvement in that regard.
