Because being able to upgrade the system "hot" using a package manager makes my life easy. Having a userland tied to a kernel means if I update one ahead of the other, I can impact the user's operations. Ditto for graceful upgrades of libc. My customers don't want the service down for anything without a month's notice and three meetings. Why reboot the box unless there's a kernel vulnerability, not a library or userland vuln? I love FreeBSD, but at the end of the day, being able to "yum install beer" or "apt-get install yuengling" gives me more time for beer and less time awake in the middle of the night. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Analyst _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
