New RancherOS Offers Lean Linux Functionality Within Docker Containers (rancher.com)

RancherOS is a lean Linux distribution aiming to offer "the minimum necessary to get Docker up and running," and tucking many actual Linux services into Docker containers. An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes Distrowatch: Josh Curl has announced the release of a new version of RancherOS [which] moves the project out of its alpha status and introduces new features, including an official Raspberry Pi image... "We're especially excited about this since it offers users a cheap method of getting started with Docker and RancherOS."

Nice to see legacy inits like System D being deprecated in favor of more modern approaches, there will be some resistances from system d grey beards who refuse to learn new things but they should be grateful someone is developing code code for them for free. If they don't like new shiny they should fork and go away, after all the code is available.
