I was going to wait for Devuan to become stable, but now am beginning to<br>
think the Unix Philosophy adherance of Void might be just what I need.<br>

By that time I'll have instructions on how to alt-init Redhat.<br>

Of course, for the same reason they make you use Redhat, your employer<br>
probably won't let you alt-init Redhat.<br>

And altering the environment in that way would give them an easy out if I ever need to make use of support. No, I get to deal with whatever RedHat decides to do. Except, they can take Satellite 6 and jump off a cliff. I'm sticking with 5 for provisioning and then using Ansible for management. </div></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>James Sumners<br><a href="http://james.sumners.info/" target="_blank">http://james.sumners.info/</a> (technical profile)</div><div><a href="http://jrfom.com/" target="_blank">http://jrfom.com/</a> (personal site)</div><div><a href="http://haplo.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">http://haplo.bandcamp.com/</a> (band page)</div></div></div></div></div>
