OEone New Releases and Review

Posted by michael on from the linux-for-the-masses dept.

Mike Potter writes "After our initial launch, we received a ton of requests asking for support for RedHat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2. OEone is happy to announce that HomeBase DESKTOP is now available as a free download for those two platforms. There's a great review of OEone DESKTOP at Linux Orbit."

  1. From the Orbit review: by mstyne · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The install script

    lynx -source http://install.oeone.com/ |sh

    is run in a terminal window as root.

    Hahahaha.... NO. What bigger motivation is there for some misguided soul to go buck wild and compromise that server? People will be running remote code as root, hoping to get this shiny new software. Er, no thanks. The review doesn't mention it, but there HAS to be a better way to install it than this.
