This was factually erroneous when he said it (at minimum for my servers, where by preference I compile bespoke kernels), it was wrong _before_ he said it (e.g,, when I cited the particulars of my architectural preference, 1-2 days before he joined the thread), and it was wrong when you spoke to me to convince me I should agree to his position and I objected that dismissal of my server best practices as 'unecessary, undesirable, and gain[ing] little' and as 'not really doing more than adding extra unnecessary complexity', while concluding that 'none of it actually matters'). And, guess what? It's still factually erroneous. Roger's statement is doubtless true of users who lack the initiative or minimal competence to customise a Linux system (in which case, that qualifier should be added to repair his claim. Otherwise, it's just dead wrong (leaving aside the rather arrogant hand-wavery in which he stated it). _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
