Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: LKML: Time to remove LSM

I'm posting this just as a perspective ... I would rather use *BSD. for 2 reasons: reason 1: (not really relevant here) I like unix at its roots, it just makes me feel good. reason 2: (totally effin relevant) The BSDs don't have this fractured user base. Sure you can switch between Net* Open* and Free* (Dragon* too), but you do that for big reasons *UP-FRONT*. Its frustrating how fractured linux has become. (But, maybe it always was.) Switching distros *IS* a solution. Switching distros *IS* a solution that should only happen *ONCE* because your switching from a bad distro. unix/linux is beautiful (in one sense, not all) because it lasts. You can come back to a system that been sitting in a closet (or sitting at a colo, doing its job) *YEARS* later, and there it is. The computer. Working. Working well. That's really nice. I use linux because of ALSA, period. We need to realize that an audio workstation is not a "server". It is obvious that realtime takes precedence over security in "audio land". (I don't mean that in a bad way at all.) BUT, linux is still a server OS too. Its kind of everything. uhmm, i don't remember what my point was, but i wrote too much to delete it.... -- paul w
