From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

“ via NVMe-TCP (in case you wonder what that is: it's the new hot shit for exposing block devices over the network, kinda like iSCSI…”

So….?

The protocol already existed. This made it convenient to boot from it

So NVMe-TCP is yet another storage over network standard…. Regardless of making it work like this.

I guess if you had your way we'd still be doing token ring over twin-ax. Whatever

I see no flaw in this logic
