Open Source Network Management Beats IBM and HP

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the slow-and-steady-going-for-the-win dept.

mjhuot writes "Last week SearchNetworking.com announced their Product Leadership Awards for 2007. It was a pleasant surprise to see an open source project, OpenNMS, win the Gold in their Network and IT Management Platforms category. OpenNMS beat out the established players of Hewlett-Packard's OpenView and IBM's Tivoli. This was based on a user survey of all IT solutions, not just open source; it demonstrates that open source software is indeed making inroads into the enterprise."

    Does anyone know how to turn off this Karma Bonus crap? By default I have to check "No Karma Bonus". Shouldn't it be the other way around - check to USE it? It's tiresome to check it all the time. I don't mind being called a whore, but not a _karma_ whore - I'm Catholic. Somehow, I don't think St. Peter at the pearly gates would condone my acceptance or use of karma.

    Sincerely,
