I just wanted to say that I got a lot out of this post. I've found flamewars aren't that bad after all... if they contain valuable information from both camps, like in this post. When 'being in war' people tend to skip the non-technical mumbo jumbo that usually makes up the most part of "technical books" in the >300 pages area.

To quote Albert Einstein.
1) "It is a simple task to make things complex, but a complex task to make them simple." Like most software (read Microsoft-software) have features that NOBODY ever uses. They just sit there, unused and unoptimized and steals resources. BIND is complex.

2) "If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough." Simple doesn't have to mean simple as in everybody understands it. I WANT my litterature clean and ON the ****ing subject, nothing more. Advanced technical litterature shouldn't be written so that eight-year-olds could understand it. Have you ever read one of those Linux-HOWTOs you know what I'm talking about.

100% off-topic, but I thought I share it anyways. And since I've thought about these things before it was time to post it.
