Tolerance
I enjoyed this take on an Emo Philips joke (found on the Church of Emacs page.)
I asked my email-pal: "UNIX or Windoze?". He replied "UNIX". I said "Ah...me too!".
I asked my email-pal: "Linux or AIX?". He said "Linux, of course". I said "Me too".
I asked him: "Emacs or vi". He replied "Emacs". I said "Me too. Small world."
I asked him: "GNU Emacs or XEmacs?", and he said "GNU Emacs". I said "oh, me too."
I asked him "GNU Emacs 19 or GNU Emacs 20"? and he said "GNU Emacs 19". I said "oh, me too."
I asked him, "GNU Emacs 19.29 or GNU Emacs 19.34", and he replied "GNU Emacs 19.29". I said "DIE YOU OBSOLETE NOGOOD SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED CELIBATE COMMIE FASCIST DORK!", and never emailed him again.
Ubuntu Linux 7.04 beta, GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 alpha, with Xft support. But I'm reformed -- any Linux or BSD distro and Emacs flavor is OK by me. (Everyone else can DIE!)
Comments
=v= When I journey into the valley of darkness (a.k.a. Windows), my Emacs and my shell, they comfort me, but they don't work together well. Cygwin provides xemacs, which for some reason can't handle the cygwin shell in *shell* mode, whereas the "ntemacs" from the GNU site usues cygwin's shell just fine, but won't use the cygwin ls in dired mode. Infidels!

Hey, Solaris x86 is really tasty these days.
cygwin... yuck. It's better than nothing, but it's still a heinous kludge.

Solaris or Minix is also acceptable. But everyone else can DIE!
