Does insanity run in your family?

Personally, I used Red Hat Linux since the Halloween release, then Fedora 
Core 1-whenever, and then Fedora on up to some ungodly number...and got 
tired of the freaking "we have to be completely free" rat race.

You know what I'm talking about -- enabling rpmfusion and hoping they 
have the software you want.  Simple things, like gawdamned mp3 codecs.

Even worse, I discovered that in Fedora, they had intentionally crippled 
openssl.  Not just in the binary packages, but they had made it so the 
SRPM couldn't be compiled with elliptical curve crypto enabled.  I needed 
that crypto for a project, and Red Hat (not "the community", but _Red 
Hat_) had ripped the code right out of openssl for "legal reasons" that 
were wholly unfounded.

That's when I realized being "tough guy Linux honcho" wasn't working for 
me.  Fsck that.  I looked around and found the most complete Linux system 
I could find, one that I wouldn't have to hunt around for pieces.  Linux 
Mint fit the bill, and I've never looked back.

The difference between you and me, Fabio, is that I get real, productive 
work done with my Linux system, because I'm not constantly tinkering with 
the underpinnings.

Don't get me wrong -- I _do_ wrench on my kernel, but on *my* terms... 
not because of some O/C drive to hot rod a computer.

If you want to soup-up your system, more power too you -- but don't 
pretend that makes you somehow better than people who have opted for more 
simplicity in their life.  Some people drive hot-rodded T-buckets, and 
some people drive Cadillacs.

Finally, I see elsewhere that you lamenting that you aren't a systems 
programmer.  Well, what are you waiting for?  Christmas?

Get thee to the Documentation directory in your latest kernel tree, and 
start reading.  I highly recommend Documentation/RCU for starters, 
because you'll get to learn about a great area of innovation in Linux 
that you've probably never heard of.

Point your browser at your version of:

<file:///home/OS/linux-4.6-rc5/Documentation/RCU/whatisRCU.txt>

In fact, there's a design document in there:

<file:///home/OS/linux-4.6-rc5/Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements/
Requirements.html>
