Because we offer some technologies the others do not. Unfortunately inferior and incompatible approaches (similarly: VHS vs BETA, Blue Ray vs HD) have left us on the outside. Try porting Kubernetes to FreeBSD. The technologies used today are more than just fads. They are building blocks onto which future technologies will be built. > > Not everyone needs the same. Niche. We should be more than simply a desktop O/S (which BTW I use as my primary desktop) and we should be more than a simple bare metal O/S. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
