[ale] Preferred Linux under Docker?

Mon May 15 09:41:09 EDT 2017

I've yet to find a use case in our setup for it that wasn't either:
1.  "Containers are cool, we need to use them!"
2.  Incoherent string of buzzwords from someone who just got back from a conference.

    I still see 'containers' as a blend between a chroot and a virtual machine. 

    As an admin, user willingness to download any old container they found on the tubes that has their solution stuffed into it is a terrifying idea.

    Since I'm a SUSE guy, I would automatically say SUSE/openSUSE, but I'm sure you will get that answer from each person with their preferred distro(s).

    "If I knew SuSE like you know SuSE..."   Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Remeber those Sun boxes? This will be going on them. We now have a
    garage to deal with the sound issue.   :)

    After a couple decades I'm not sure the current distro vendors get it.
    RH seems to be moving away from being on the hardware or a VM, and
    wants to go theri own way like Solaris. If I'm going to go somewhere
    might as well go all the way.

    Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
    gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
    own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
