Being increasingly unhappy with the quality of and direction of Ubuntu development, this may be the final straw. Just remember; change for the sake of change is not a good thing.
Sooner or later, you will migrate to 2.x
you are probably right. But... i will not be till after 2.1 at least. I'm not being troll, i have spent a lot of time playing with 2.0 and i just don't think that it is ready to be deployed in a real world (i mean business vs. personal) setting.
Not just a troll. I already had to make a decision whether to ship with apache 1.3.* or upgrade to 2.0.4*. They had their thread so mixed together that i ended up with a very large blanket . But seriously, it does have many problems. For instance:
They were not parsing the httpd.conf correclty.
The thread saftey was non existent. (I was able to lock the server up with only 5 simultaneous connections.) They claimed to have fixed ALL of the threading problems, which were across multiple modules, in the following version: 2.0.46. But I find that highly doubtful.
And the build script is a joke.
It reeks of zero function testing (yeah... it compiled lets chck it in).
It is totaly differnet that the apache 1.3 baseling. I may try upgrading to 2.* sometime in the future but not till after 2.1 at least.
I wasted to weeks of work trying to get it to work right... unsuccesfully, and about half a day getting apache 1.3.* working. If i only hope i can prevent it from happening to someone else.
Apche 2.* has been available for over a year, and
its crap. It is a major step backwards from the 1.3.* baseline. Apparently this is just another pro-open source anti-proprietary article.
NOTE: if the statement in this article were true, then they wouldn't need aticles likt this one.

In response to the warez supporters. The fact is:
A company creates a product (i.e. software). That company expects compansasion for their time and effort. Therefor: not compensating the company when they expect to be compensated is theft.
There is no grey area here. No matter what BS you come up with to justify your actions you are still breaking the law.// end rant

The newer releases of GNOME adn Unitity where the final pushes I need to dust off my old fvwm config.
And I must say, I couldn't be happier.

Issuing tickets to the police. I see more cops talk on their cell phones while driving, (on duty), than civilians.
Finally!
Someone took the time to read the MySQL License.
These people are getting the fact that MySQL is only
GPL in some cases.
Pass the Quick and dirty solution off as a proof of concept. That should get the customers interest while at the same time leaving you with a job.
Same reason that pen source software makes "unprovoked defamitory statements" about MS and other... it called competition.

"i mean how many operating systems to you have to put out to get it right?" If anyone should know it would be the *nix community.
