I imagine illumos might switch to pf too, it is the only OS that people are writing new applications for - Oracle's Solaris is basically there for running Oracle apps on, and no one cares about it for anything else.
- baldfat 12y agoUse to be a Systems Librarian in a Academic Library. Libraries throughout the country are still running SPARC servers for applications that are still in production. Linux wasn't an option till just 8 eight years ago and libraries pay tens of thousands of dollars a year (About $.50 a book) for the content management systems.
- justincormack 12y agoWell thats certainly not a new application then!
- baldfat 12y agoNothing in Library Science Technology is new! That is the reason why I am a former :) It was 100% frustration with old technology and no new solutions. Except the Open Source options which the commercial companies did everything they could to bad mouth Open Source anything. So if I mentioned something the first three questions always included, "Is it Open Sourced." As in scary and I had a great relationship with my boss.
