The advantages of Minix are purely theoretical. All the different

Yes, to be clear - I meant "ignored in discussions on this mailing

Greetings to the Suckless community. Thanks for all the awesome
software.
I find Minix3 to be extremely interesting, and attractive (at least in
principle). A kernel that's only a few thousand (I think I heard 12
last?) LOC sounds like "do one thing and do it well" taken to an
extreme. I realize

about it is suckless, but at least it's frugal on resources once you

They can't possibly have the same library of packages simply because

You can buy yourself performance by buying faster Hardware, but you
can't buy yourself security.
That's why choosing security is always better than choosing speed.

I use Exherbo, which is similar to Gentoo but more decentralized, (and probably
less user friendly). I
Hand-crafted Linux distro on my desktop, maintaining it is a pain in the
ass so might switch to Gentoo soon. I am currently using root to log in

experiment but it worked somewhat well) which might be hard to do on
Gentoo.

OpenBSD has poor multiprocessing performance but Bitrig is working on it.
Void seems, in many ways, a better Arch.

I've been a happy Arch user for 4 years, but I've been seriously considering

It's a matter of taste, but I absolutely prefer Gentoo for Linux stuff
because of its great flexibility.
Hello list,
I'm curious to know what flavor of *nix people on this list use on a
day-to-day basis. I've recall that some have mentioned using OpenBSD,
and I recently saw a reference to Fedora which, to be honest,
surprised me.
