Trouble on the Debian Front?
Linux.com is reporting that Matthew Garrett, one of the more active Debian developers, has called some ongoing problems with the Debian project into focus with his resignation. While he didn't hold any actual office, many prominent Debian developers described Garrett as "high profile". From the article: "In his own blog, Garrett relates his gradual discovery that Debian's free-for-all discussions were making him intensely irritable and unhappy with other members of the community. He contrasts Debian's organization with Ubuntu's more formal structure. In particular, he mentions Ubuntu's code of conduct, which is enforced on the distribution's mailing lists, suggesting that it 'helps a great deal in ensuring that discussions mostly remain technical.' He also approves of Ubuntu's more formal structure as 'a pretty explicit acknowledgment that not all developers are equal and some are possibly more worth listening to than others.' Then, in reference to Mark Shuttleworth, the founder and funder of Ubuntu, Garrett says, 'At the end of the day, having one person who can make arbitrary decisions and whose word is effectively law probably helps in many cases.'"
Why doesn't he simply drop it and join Microsoft. Microsoft has all he needs!! Microsoft Windows has even more like WGA, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Studio, which comes with my favorite reading, MSDN, which will help you out with your way into .NET 2.0 Final RC Beta 32 bit AND x64 versions. And you'll always have Microsoft DirectX for all your 3D needs! Even hits 4th on Google if you query "best operating system ever"!
Linux is dying...netcraft confirms it...
