Here are some things I find 'odd' about Linux, having seen and worked
on quite a few unices. Most of my in-depth experiences have been with
SUNs though. Feel free to tell me the solution, if there is
one. 


- a full filesystem doesn't accounce itself (well, not to root, since
  root normally has a 5% slack on each disk.
- the linker doesn't see that structures and functions are different
  beasts, it happily links one of each with the same name, and of
  course the program then dies when the structure members are
  written into. (gcc 2.5.8)
  This has bitten me twice now, once in fortran, where a common block
  has the same name as a C function.
