No matter though, a Linux migration is not that particularly difficult, and the “upgrade” is free or very very low cost.
If this had happened on Blista, the cost of reverting back to XP would be tremendous.
The penguin is an adaptable beast after all..:)
You miss the point.
There are two years' worth of WORTHLESS KEYS out in the world. The problem doesn't go away because a patch is available.
Somebody has to go out and FIND and REGENERATE and REPLACE all those keys before some hacker knocks on the door.
That's bad. Look I like, use, and boost Linux. But this is not funny. It's awful.
I’ll call bull on that. I oversee a number of Admins.
I have one guy at a site managing over 70 W2K3 servers, and 1 guy looking after 5, FIVE! nix servers.
Take a guess which guy has the most issues, the most downtime and is the most difficult to deal with. We have been through numerous (and I mean numerous) Unix “Gurus” and the problems never seem to go away.
My CIO one afternoon once made it clear that if he ever saw a “free” piece of software in our environment again, well I like my job.
Also if you think that in the rest of the corporate world it’s any different, I know a ton of companies shoving “open source” software out into the trash as fast as they can.
