Tridge Speaks Out

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the samba-man-speaketh dept.

Robert McMillan from Linux Magazine posted an interview with Tridge, of Samba and Tivo fame. He's one of the most important folks in all of Linux, and this interview is worth a read. He covers a lot of good material like crap code, bonobo, and what stuff in the kernel is innovative. He also talks a bit about what he might do after Microsoft drops SMB from future versions of windows.

    A really nice accounting package? A little one, like QuickBooks? Contact managers like GoldMine? Bigger CRM applications with all the bells and whistles?

    These are projects that are begging to worked on, and completed. (And yes, I know that good work is being done on all these fronts already).

    And these are just the sorts of projects that would convince people (at my company at least) to ditch Windows on the desktop once and for all. Even management is becoming painfully aware of Microsoft's hardball tactics, with this latest round of forced upgrades.

    So can we all assume that you're busy working on these types of applications to enrich the available software base for Linux? Or should we more correctly assume that you're simply sat about on Slashdot whining that there arn't any applications that do what you want?

    Is it a new thing in Slashdot, people reading the article and browsing the link before writing a pun ?
