Yeah, it was some time ago (fortunately, people keep me far away from systems administration now). But that doesn't exactly help: since others drew the same conclusion, _even if BSD is now a perfectly rational choice_, I've lost functionality I desire. Docker is a great example of this. For many use cases, it's obviously better than the alternatives. So now I _can't_ pick FreeBSD. And so on. > This systemd debacle is an excellent reason to look into stuff that > isn't Linux. The Linux camp all too often become victims of "not > invented here" I don't think the latter is restricted to the Linux world! But as I suggested, the network security implications of all that stuff hidden in one critical system sure seem to require some thinking.
