Re: Distrowatch on Dapper - "a disappointment".
Is the verse, "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier," really stupid, or is it just me? I grow old, wear my trousers rolled, but if that's what's passing for lyrics these days, throw me in a quiet home and let me sleep in my own ordure.
Here's my thing, and I think it's pretty serious: Dapper can't hang with RAIDs consisting of more than two disks, not without hours of cautious, painstaking and delicate watchmaker tinkering, anyhow. Since the dawn of time, Linux has been the OS of choice for servers, right? Because of its stability, security, self-explanatory existence? Even a triceratops could use it?
If I can't make a nice RAID 5 - especially when the installer says, hey man, make a RAID 5 - what's the use? Dapper can't even enumerate ancillary devices correctly. Gotta draw the line at disks. If a Linux OS an't handle disks, f$%k it.
And, and, bastard developer...oh, nevermind.
