Re: Docker

For sure there are users / developers that are in the middle,like it
happens in the political area. I like this kind of person. I'm one of those
people. My criticism is against those users and developers that show an
exaggerated "love" and fidelity towards a system, whether by ideology,
whether by habit, or by commercial reasons. I'm a frequent visitor to
various freebsd forums and I often read opinions radicalized on linux
technologies that should not enter the freebsd world, simply because in
Freebsd there are already excellent tools that do their job well. Yes,they
work well,but why not add more and different tools that which would allow
the creation of bridges between different operating systems ?
