Anyway. diverging approaches among Linux distributions to solve basically the same task is something that I still consider to be a drawback. Makes me think of the not so old promising United Linux / LSB days. *sigh*
We're in full agreement here. E.g., my pet peeve: it gets a hassle to even write a simple init.d-script that can be properly integrated into several major distributions, there's something clearly wrong in Linux-land. And looking over the fence, to other Unix systems like Solaris 10 or AIX with its src system, it gets even worse. Still the same NIH syndrome, like in the 80s during the Unix wars. Sigh, I'm starting to feel old with my (just) 43 years. :-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany
