On: JBoss Founder Hard-Nosed About Open Source

Was the first implimentation of a Web Browser (Mosaic) open source or coompany derived?

Mosaic wasn't the first implementation of a Web browser. Tim Berners-Lee's WorldWideWeb was.

On: Debian Struggling With Security

Please point me to a distro that can manage version upgrades even half as gracefully as Debian.

Gentoo.
There's no difference between different versions of Gentoo after they've been installed. Which means there's no need to even do version upgrades.
