Oh ok. I'll back you on that point. (though they were nice enough to
give some very fine hardware a few years ago...)
How much junk mail do they send after giving the hardware? ;)
Huh? I didn't get any. But then I don't think they ever had my
address.
Ah. I get lots of junk mail and email from 'em after trying their
stupid Linux certification practise tests. They were not vender agnostic.
Gross. I hate junk mail. No, I went to their headquarters with a
truck and picked up some big iron. One of their guys has my email
address, but they never got my postal address. It's different now anyway.
I can agree with that. One just can't get much better than "apt-get".
I'd agree. While apt-get isn't my favourite of the package managers
(does it support delta package updates yet?) I willl certainly prefer it
to yum. (You should poke at alpine's APK if you like apt-get)
Nah...I'll learn it if I need to, but right now I don't. I have lots
of other stuff that I need to digest.
Ahh. It has a plan to work on embedded stuff. You might need it one day.
Hmm. I tend to program on bare metal, or with a lightweight RTOS (see
FreeRTOS, I've used that in a number of designs), I generally don't
embed Linux.
But that sort of package management in that environment sounds like a
nice idea.
