I wanna know what the newsreader he uses is
Debian, the cool guy distro in 1999. The machine overlords run on Red Hat.
In the low budget parody version, Neo ran Slackware, and the climatic battle was basically about Agent Smith somehow fucking up his libc.so.6 but then Trinity got him a copy of the file on 3.5" floppy from another system. Or something.
Real image from the really official archived film 👍 👍The movie came out in 1999. In the movie, they state that it’s 1999 (in the Matrix anyway). Neo is pretty tech savvy and a renowned hacker.
My assumption is he would’ve used FreeBSD. Or, maybe, Slackware. But I’m leaning more towards BSD.
Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.
Man I wish FreeBSD hadn’t fallen to the wayside. It’s really cohesive and feels put together in a way not Linux distro ever has.
Except it uses push over licensing
That’s a GPL point of view. Most BSD users I’ve talked to prefer a more permissive license. Theo said: “GPL fans said the great problem we would face is that companies would take our BSD code, modify it, and not give back. Nope – the great problem we face is that people would wrap the GPL around our code, and lock us out in the same way that these supposed companies would lock us out. Just like the Linux community, we have many companies giving us code back, all the time. But once the code is GPL’d, we cannot get it back. Ironic.”
i guess this might be why a lot of processing and storage clusters use it behind closed doors with proprietary code we will never see.
He is Assembly, Operating Systems require him to operate.
