Which Open Source Linux Distributions Would Presidential Hopefuls Run?
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
|
||||
|
||||
If people running for president used Linux or another open source operating system, which distribution would it be? That's a key question that the rest of the press—distracted by issues of questionable relevance such as "policy platforms" and whether it's appropriate to add an exclamation point to one's Christian name—has been ignoring. But the ignorance ends here: Read on for this sometime-journalist's take on presidential elections and Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
If this sounds like a familiar topic to those of you who have been reading my drivel for years (is anyone, other than my dear editor, unfortunate enough to have actually done that?), it's because I wrote a [similar post][1] during the last presidential election cycle. Some kind readers took that article more seriously than I intended, so I'll take a moment to point out that I don't actually believe that open source software and political campaigns have anything meaningful to do with one another. I am just trying to amuse myself at the start of a new week.
|
||||
|
||||
But you can make of this what you will. You're the reader, after all.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux Distributions of Choice: Republicans ###
|
||||
|
||||
Today, I'll cover just the Republicans. And I won't even discuss all of them, since the candidates hoping for the Republican party's nomination are too numerous to cover fully here in one post. But for starters:
|
||||
|
||||
If **Jeb (Jeb!?) Bush** ran Linux, it would be [Debian][2]. It's a relatively boring distribution designed for serious, grown-up hackers—the kind who see it as their mission to be the adults in the pack and clean up the messes that less-experienced open source fans create. Of course, this also makes Debian relatively unexciting, and its user base remains perennially small as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scott Walker**, for his part, would be a [Damn Small Linux][3] (DSL) user. Requiring merely 50MB of disk space and 16MB of RAM to run, DSL can breathe new life into 20-year-old 486 computers—which is exactly what a cost-cutting guru like Walker would want. Of course, the user experience you get from DSL is damn primitive; the platform barely runs a browser. But at least you won't be wasting money on new computer hardware when the stuff you bought in 1993 can still serve you perfectly well.
|
||||
|
||||
How about **Chris Christie**? He'd obviously be clinging to [Relax-and-Recover Linux][4], which bills itself as a "setup-and-forget Linux bare metal disaster recovery solution." "Setup-and-forget" has basically been Christie's political strategy ever since that unfortunate incident on the George Washington Bridge stymied his political momentum. Disaster recovery may or may not bring back everything for Christie in the end, but at least he might succeed in recovering a confidential email or two that accidentally disappeared when his computer crashed.
|
||||
|
||||
As for **Carly Fiorina**, she'd no doubt be using software developed for "[The Machine][5]" operating system from [Hewlett-Packard][6] (HPQ), the company she led from 1999 to 2005. The Machine actually may run several different operating systems, which may or may not be based on Linux—details remain unclear—and its development began well after Fiorina's tenure at HP came to a conclusion. Still, her roots as a successful executive in the IT world form an important part of her profile today, meaning that her ties to HP have hardly been severed fully.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least—and you knew this was coming—there's **Donald Trump**. He'd most likely pay a team of elite hackers millions of dollars to custom-build an operating system just for him—even though he could obtain a perfectly good, ready-made operating system for free—to show off how much money he has to waste. He'd then brag about it being the best operating system ever made, though it would of course not be compliant with POSIX or anything else, because that would mean catering to the establishment. The platform would also be totally undocumented, since, if Trump explained how his operating system actually worked, he'd risk giving away all his secrets to the Islamic State—obviously.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if Trump had to go with a Linux platform already out there, [Ubuntu][7] seems like the most obvious choice. Like Trump, the Ubuntu developers have taken a we-do-what-we-want approach to building open source software by implementing their own, sometimes proprietary applications and interfaces. Free-software purists hate Ubuntu for that, but plenty of ordinary people like it a lot. Of course, whether playing purely by your own rules—in the realms of either software or politics—is sustainable in the long run remains to be seen.
|
||||
|
||||
### Stay Tuned ###
|
||||
|
||||
If you're wondering why I haven't yet mentioned the Democratic candidates, worry not. I am not leaving them out of today's writing because I like them any more or less than the Republicans. (Personally, I think the peculiar American practice of having only two viable political parties—which virtually no other functioning democracy does—is ridiculous, and I am suspicious of all of these candidates as a result.)
|
||||
|
||||
On the contrary, there's plenty to say about the Linux distributions the Democrats might use, too. And I will, in a future post. Stay tuned.

总统更乐意使用哪种开源Linux分支？
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
共和党总统候选人Donald Trump【译者注：唐纳德·特朗普，美国地产大亨、作家、主持人】
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
如果人们要竞选总统，而决定因素却是使用Linux或另一个开源操作系统，那么这样的系统会属于哪个分支呢？关键是存在与其他很多事情有关的问题，而这正好使我们很难抉择；比如，一些“政治立场”问题，或者是要判断某一个分支诞生时为它的名字加上感叹号是否合适——而这些问题一直被忽视。而忽视到此就结束了:接下来是时事新闻工作者关于总统大选和Linux分支的报道。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
对于那些已经看了很多年我的文字的人来说（除了我亲爱的的编辑之外，他们是不是也不够幸运一直听我的瞎扯？），这些话听起来很熟悉，这是因为我在去年的总统选举期间写了一个[similar post][1]。一些有趣的读者把这里面的内容看的很正式，然而我并不是这样想的，所以我会花点时间阐述我的观点：事实上，我不认为开源软件和政治运动对于一些事情有多大的意义。我写那样的文章仅仅是新的一周的自我消遣罢了。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
当然，你也可以去了解更多的你想知道的东西，毕竟你才是读者。
|
||||
|
||||
###Linux分支：共和党人的选择###
|
||||
|
||||
今天，我只是谈及一些有关共和主义的话题，我甚至只会谈论他们的其中一部分。因为共和党的期望提名太多了以至于我写满了整篇文章。由此开始：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
如果**Jeb (Jeb!?) Bush**使用Linux，它定是[Debian][2]。Debian属于一个相当无趣的分支，它是为真正意义上的黑客设计的，这样的黑客通过使用这样的操作系统快速成长，并且乐此不疲。而且他们可以通过攻击一些初级开源爱好者的电脑来大捞一笔。当然，这也使得Debian显得很枯燥，所以它已有的用户基础一直在缩减。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Scott Walker**是一个[Damn Small Linux][3] (DSL) 用户。这个系统仅仅需要50MB的硬盘空间和16MB的RAM便可完美运行。DSL可以使一台20年前的486计算机充满活力；而这恰好满足了**Scott Walker**消减硬件成本的需求。当然，你使用DSL的体验也是最原始的；这个系统平台只能够运行一个浏览器。但是至少你在1993年购买的机器现在仍然能很好的工作，这样你也不用浪费钱财购买新的电脑硬件。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Chris Christie**会使用哪种系统呢？他肯定会依赖于一次设置便可持续工作的逻辑Linux灾难恢复方案，而这就是[Relax-and-Recover Linux][4]。Christie使用它主要是因为他的政治工作，从那次华盛顿大桥事故后，他的政治动力就受到了影响。不管它是否能够让Christie挽回一切事故，但是当他的电脑死机的时候，至少可以找到一些意外丢失的机密邮件。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
对于**Carly Fiorina**，她不否定将要使用来自于[Hewlett-Packard][6] (HPQ)的软件为 "[The Machine][5]"开发操作系统，HPQ是她在1999年到2005年这6年期间所管理的公司。事实上，这种机器可以运行部分不同操作系统，而我不知道这些系统是否是基于Linux的； **Carly Fiorina**被惠普公司辞退后，开发操作系统工作就开始了。尽管如此，她仍然是她研究的计算机领域中的成功管理者。同时这也意味着她和惠普的联系彻底绝。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
这才是重点，你也猜到了，他就是**Donald Trump**。想要拥有免费的、优秀的操作系统，他可能会用数百万美元去雇佣一个精英黑客团队去定制属于自己的操作系统；同时他也可以向别人炫耀自己的财力。他可能会吹嘘自己的操作系统是目前最好的系统。它肯定没有使用POSIX【译者注:可移植操作系统接口】或者采用一些其他的标准，因为那样的话就需要提供一些其他的很多的规则。人们也不知道它的运行方式，因此，如果**Donald Trump**向人们展示了他的系统的运行方式，很明显他可能会把所有的机密都泄露给了伊斯兰国家，这是相当冒险的。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
非此即彼，如果**Donald Trump**非要选择一种已有的类Linux操作系统， [Ubuntu][7]是明智的选择。而**Donald Trump**也是Ubuntu的开发者，他和他的团队通过使用他们已有的应用程序接口去定制他们认为的真正的开源软件。自由软件纯化论者却很不喜欢这种开发模式，他们很反感使用Ubuntu，反而很多其他人更喜欢Ubuntu。当然，用户自己的这种仅仅在软件和政治上的不同立场也是无伤大雅的，即使这样的分歧可能会一直存在。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
###敬请期待###
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
如果你想知道为什么我还没有提到民主党候人，别想了。我不会在这篇文章中提及他们，因为我一直对民主党和共和党保持中立观点（我个人认为，像美国这样的的情况，只有两个政党是不合理的；事实上，这种意义上的民主就显得很可笑，所以我不太相信这些党派候选人）。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
相反，也可能会有很多人关心民主党候选人使用的Linux分支。后续的帖子中我会提及的，请拭目以待。
