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."

So CADTs are moving away from systemd as fast as they flocked to it, while the rest of us are smirking.
