<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>general orneriness and curmudgeonly character :-)<br><br></div>Some of us "professionals" view certain distros as "hobby market only". Ubuntu (even LTS) fits that for me. Too much stuff that was fixed over a decade ago in other "professional class distros" is still wonky in Ubuntu.<br>
<br></div>And then there's the funky, not so cool, not really in the spirit of GNU/Linux/OpenSource shenanigans like the data pump to upstream sources of search data, the "let's just fork everything and do our way so we don't have to play well with others" mentality and some other stuff that has rubbed me personally the wrong way over time with Ubuntu leadership.<br>
<br></div>So, yeah. I'm a distro curmudgeon. I've got 15+ years experience with "The RedHat Way" and while it's got it's share of warts, there's a core bunch of stuff that just always works on an install and they keep spending money buying closed source stuff and open sourcing it, pushing it to Fedora upstream and funding rewrites to get rid of the last bits of code that can't be open sourced due to license issues. If Debian had any money, they would do that as well, I suspect.<br>
<br></div>No real flame intended from me. Just poking a bit of fun.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 5:54 PM, Edward Holcroft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eholcroft@mkainc.com" target="_blank">eholcroft@mkainc.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
