Knowing Linux as a developer: followup

[Jim]

It seems to me that anyone who writes code should have some knowledge of 
every OS that code will have to work with.  It's been my experience that 
no software, machine or anything else developed by man has ever worked 
exactly as intended.   There's always some bug or quirk that needs to be 
dealt with.
