Real Programmer
real operating system n.
The sort the speaker is used to.
People from the BSDophilic academic community are likely to issue
comments like "System V? Why don't you use a real
operating system?", people from the commercial/industrial Unix
sector are known to complain "BSD? Why don't you use a
real operating system?", and people from IBM object
"Unix? Why don't you use a real operating system?" Only
MS-DOS is universally considered unreal. See holy wars,
religious issues, proprietary, Get a real computer!
