i just installed gentoo in a new VM and configured it to use systemd to see what the fuss and blog posts and wailing and gnashing of teeth is about works pretty well for the most part, minus my current unfamiliarity with how to manage a systemd machine and ~15 years of inertia with using gentoo's previous init system (OpenRC isnt that old but it mimics the interface/configuration style of stuff that existed in 2000 or so) only thing i didnt manage to figure out was auto-mounting NFS filesystems in a working way, and that would have probably taken a few more minutes that i didnt have before leaving home this morning some things were a bit weird like one of the NFS client things failing to start because one of its prerequisites wasn't enabled, but idk whether that's my fault for not knowing the terminology, i.e. does "disabled" mean "doesn't start at boot automatically" or "prevented from starting even if a prerequisite of something else", or whether its gentoo's fault for not having all of the service definitions systemd-ized yet even still i would think that id get a message like "can't start rpc-statd or whatever since prereq rpc-something-else is disabled", instead of "can't start rpc-statd or whatever, good luck figuring out why"

Apple uses a combination of Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD depending on the service. In super old services, they use OS X Server.

I got mandrake off of the first issue of maximum linux. I installed it, and then it wouldn't work with my 36.6 modem so I just installed windows 98 again. The linux experience hasn't changed much since then.

mandrake, the predecessor to mandriva, was definitely not a straight-up redhat clone. it had way more packages and way lower package quality and the english-language documentation was completely useless. i'm not sure anyone on the project actually spoke english

Also mandrake was considered one of the easiest distros to use. I had problems because desktop Linux was a Unix enthusiast thing and I have no idea why Walmart was selling Linux CDs at all.
