Emacs 25.1 released 10 years ago

It's surprising to see so much popularity in mu4e in this threads when no one mention Gnus, I am too much 'hardwired' in gnus and don't think i have the 'courage' to try something else but someone would know how does it compare ?

Docker bundles 10 years ago

I think RedHat had something like that released sometime ago (I can't find the name anymore), someone knows how does it compare?

I just realised I had my account open since 2006 with bunch of undone task there (join gym was one of them), maybe I should complete them now

I would imagine the most important thing from a distro is the support from the downstream vendor (i.e: canonical or red hat) that comes with it. Downloading and compiling from source to a minimal distro (like what alpine does it seems) is nice and all but would be limited for toys/dev deployments and not sure how i would get my CTO convinced to use those images instead of officially supported one from a reputed vendor cause the benefits are a few mbs (and freeness obv) gains

I think it's hard to compare RedHat to Mirantis even tho they are taking a bit of market to them they are not playing in the same league, it's like to say Docker is a great competitor to Vmware inc,
