A few things. First, can't you run Linux inside a Solaris Zone? I don't know much about Solaris stuff (although I do like it very much, I grew up mostly with Linux, which you so much despise, and I'm not too familiar with other Unixes). So... I think you could probably run Logdevice if you really wanted. Then, here's my two cents. When engaging in conversation and civil dialog, please try to avoid being so dismissive and so proud of yourself and of how much you think you know about stuff. You come across as abrasive and entitled. It's not nice to just jump into a conversation and talk trash about the work of others just because you dislike the operating system that they use. Finally, if you really care, work on porting it to your operating system of choice and engage in civil conversation doing pull requests, etc. Everybody will be thankful for that.

"You come across as abrasive and entitled." Does it appear to you that I care? I am abrasive. And I am entitled. I'm also very proud that I run an illumos based operating system instead of a GNU/Linux one. Anything else I can clarify for you? "I think you could probably run Logdevice if you really wanted." Nowhere did I write that I actually care about logdevice. What I care about is that these kids learn UNIX: daemons and system administration utilities go into sbin/, not bin/.

    Which guideline do you believe I did not follow? (I hope you write back face to face, because I would tell him the same thing in person and then some, and enjoy every microsecond of it.)

      The comment was uncivil and snarky. Regardless of your temperament, can you please not be abrasive/aggressive on HN? It encourages worse from others and leads to a toilet-whirlpool effect.

        The person in question is one of the authors of "logdevice", which is relevant to that person's reaction: instead of saying "we didn't know about sbin, we'll fix that" it seems it was easier to just write a tractate trying to teach me, multiple decades older than them manners. What was aggressive?
