Wow, Wind River’s still around? Haven’t heard anything from them in ages.
Red Hat is now owned by IBM.
Open source is not in IBM’s genetic makeup.
Their entire business model is to make businesses 100% dependent on IBM products and support.
It’s not surprising they killed the open source aspect of Red Hat soon after they purchased it.
Red Hat is evil.
Red Hat created Fedora to get people to test Red Hat for free ,LOL
I know very little programming and/or technical info. regarding computers. I understand that using an open source Linux distro allows a user to have a extremely low cost pay model of an OS...where the user doesn’t need Microsoft or Apple to run their computer.
Aren’t there enough Linux distros, programming languages, and programs, robust enough to run a medium sized enterprise already? So that the exorbitant fees charged by Microsoft and Apple can be avoided? Why the need for users to require a large for profit based OS provider?
For the enterprise, SuSE (SLES) is one of the main players and not the afterthought intimated by the article. But the maintenance subscriptions aren’t cheap.
In terms of Cloud computing, Amazon deserves mention for its Linux variants.
And no mention of Slackware — that ain’t right… lol
I jumped to Debian (from Red Hat) in 2000, for the package management. I haven't really looked back, other than some time with Ubuntu and Mint.
Downloading the iso now.
What does Wind River have against a bunch of older women meeting for lunch?
