  • in favor of the (then-very-political) issue of racial integration

    Won, also freed hundreds-of-thousands of slaves. (really?)

    Didn’t believe in ‘gentlemanly’ war (ambivalent but future forward I guess, less is better)

    “Forty Acres and a mule” super cool, early reparations.

    Also pretty racist (which speaks to the first point, I guess he was into freedom before race)

    Thankyou muchly for the context, I now like him (for his time), I’ll look at ShermanPosting differently.















  • Depends on what you mean by professional and your needs.

    Debian (stable) is rock solid but (because) slow changing, if your application is slow (or not) changing it’s probably the better choice, but if you need new things before it’s ready for a new version it’ll be pain. It’s the professional sysad’s choice because they’ll likely not have to do anything.

    Fedora is faster moving (think cutting edge, not bleeding edge (e.g. Arch) as opposed to Debian’s blunt safety) so if you’re in active development it’s likely a better choice. It is also sort of the testing arm for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is the quintessential professional Distro, so you’ll learn some of that along the way.
