How much is TOO MUCH is depends.

I'd like idea to move from Linux to Inferno OS each time I re-read Stevens APUE book or POSIX. But it's TOO MUCH for me, at least for now.

But replacing Sendmail with Qmail and sleep MUCH MORE fine is ease and NOT TOO MUCH, for me. Replacing mc with mc-mp once, and forget about any bugs in mc also NOT TOO MUCH. Spend time once learning about GrSecurity, PaX, SSP and PIE, and then convert my system into Hardened Gentoo - NOT TOO MUCH. Use runit to supervise all services and forget about all problems with unreliable /etc/init.d/ script - NOT TOO MUCH. Etc. etc. etc...

... carefully develop own System() function and forget about all issues related to hang processes and unreliable signal handling in perl modules which need to execute some external process - not too much for me, sorry.
