Where UnitedLinux Got It Wrong

Posted by michael on from the ransom-love-might-have-something-to-do-with-it dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "A story on NewsForge [ed. note: part of the keiretsu] suggests that the lack of binaries for UnitedLinux shows disrespect to the community which created most of the software. The author suggests a better way for handling the business problems that a lack of binaries is supposed to solve. Some particularly clueless reader comments say that UnitedLinux has no responsibility to cooperate with the community. The thought that UnitedLinux won't even offer a development distribution to the community does not sit well with me."

    Christ, I wish money never would have gotten tangled with linux. And no, I don't give a shit what paid people have contributed.
