> It appears you may be new to this whole "Unix" thing. I understand that you're doing this out of malice, and are using "reflection" in order to make yourself feel superior, and to take me down a peg, but I do regret using that sentence in the GP. The rest of the post was completely accurate, and that sentence diminished it. However, I'll have to disagree with the rest of your reply; The BSD/SysV split, while large, is fairly comparable to what's going on today with systemd. Poettering has made his contempt for *BSD very clear multiple times, and is actively trying to extinguish compatibility with it. GNOME needs massive work to play nice with any BSD now, thanks to Lennart. Porting between SunOS/IRIX/HP-UX was far less work than GNOME now requires.
