XenServer 6.2 Is Now Fully Open Source

First time accepted submitter Jagungal writes "Although the core Xen hypervisor has always been open source from the start, Citrix have now released the next version of their XenServer including all features and tools under an open source license. This includes also introducing a new XenServer.org community portal. The major change for users is that they now get all features from the licensed version for free but unless they pay for support, they have to do all security updates manually. Change logs for the new version 6.2 can be found here. It's been a few years since Citrix started giving it away, free as in beer.

    Another handwavy, FUD-filled technology that drives stupid amount of capital expenditure, just to paper over architectural and application design problems. It's like client-server for PCs, but yet, not really. The worst of both worlds - you need a local high powered client to render crap that's so fat it has to stay on the server.

    The best choice I made was when I decided to be gay (and it is a choice. Hooray for pro choice!). I remember thinking: do I want to stick my penis into a girl's vagina or a boy's asshole?

    It's really sad that people like the above AC just can't come out and admit that they are gay to their family. Everyone here stopped giving a shit about these messages years ago and it only annoys us when we've had a hard day and come home to find out that once again a closet homosexual and possible pedophile has no other outlet than posting these pointless fantasies. I really wish Dice would leak their IP logs on these people so those of us with the skill can just go ahead and out them and get it over with.

    I'm sure they think they are safe behind 7-proxies but I wonder how many knew how-to set the special toggle in Firefox for DNS over socks or how many have no idea all the ways that even if you have over 9000 proxies it doesn't hide you when you have no idea what you are doing, which clearly true for these people.

    So WHAT SAY YOU DICE? leak some IP logs, say it was part of an NSA request that got cc'ed to the wrong people.... Whatever covers you legally and we will do the rest...
