| Jul 24, 2015 at 23:41 | comment | added | Marlon | I'm just laughing at the comparison...tractors and cars is not the same as windows and linux. They both are operating systems or in your comparison they are both tractors or cars. BTW Mac kernel...is based off BSD, which is 'nix or a flavor of Posix compliant OS so it would actually help to know linux in that case. | |

| Feb 7, 2011 at 5:32 | comment | added | Muad'Dib | @dukeofgaming, you can run IIS and PHP no problem. linux would be GOOD to learn, but necessary? not really. | |
| Feb 7, 2011 at 5:17 | comment | added | dukeofgaming | He will need to learn linux if he ever expects to deploy his programs by himself on a production environment, which can be most of the time linux. | |
| Dec 3, 2010 at 5:49 | comment | added | Geek | @Max: It will only make you smart if you know how to use it and know how and why Linux does it. The Linux source code has vast knowledge embedded in it but like Muad said, it is not a MUST. | |
| Dec 3, 2010 at 1:01 | comment | added | Maxtor | The reason I ask was because Linux is considered a 'must learn' for programmers of all types these days. I may be wrong however. | |
