That said, I give the Linux folks great credit for the
addition of
modules was huge and it took BSD and the other UNIX systems a few years
really pick up that idea in the same way (yes Solaris, Tru64 and
eventually HPUX etc.. had something too but again - my comment about
being generally available applies).
Wasn't SunOS first with dynamic kernel modules, or is my memory worse than
I thought? Linux may have been around at the time, but we never used in
the shop until much later (Red Hat, nicknamed Dead Rat).
So here is the issue, how to do move the ball
forward? BSD, then
Linux, became the 'stronger strain' and pushed out the old version.
The problem is the ROMs in my fingers (like Dave) never got
reprogrammed so some of the 'new' becomes annoying. Will I learned to
like systemd? We shall see...
Never mind "systemd"; I'm having enough trouble coming to grips with
"launchd" on the Mac... Gimme /etc/inetd.conf any time.
