Whatever it was obviously poor choice of words on your part but I'm not exactly in the mood to perform the mental gymnastics necessary to understand what you actually intended to say. And there are so many other fascinating flamewars in the Linux world to get involved in ;)
Would be nice if people didn't feel the overpowering urge to put a massively negative spin on things if that wasn't their intent. Even better if they didn't make excuses when someone points out the bad terminology. BTW in this particular context "legacy" also does not apply since they were actively developing new variations of their SATA parts as recently as 5 years ago. SATA is not being "dumped", nor considered "legacy" at that company. So both terms were simply wrong, incorrect, and just plain not right. -Ben On Tuesday, November 5th, 2024 at 10:05 PM, Ted Mittelstaedt <[email protected]> wrote: > Note that I did say legacy installs, Ben. > > Some of my most solid servers run on legacy hardware.
