It's kind of sad to see the "What It's Like To Be Ridiculed For Open Sourcing A Project" and "I'm Sorry" stories just above this one, where Alan Cox essentially says his former colleagues have released an unusable distribution.
- skrebbel 14y agoAgreed! I think Alan Cox has hurt the Red Hat management's feelings and should apologize.
- crazytony 14y agoUnlike the posters in the other article, Alan isn't blindly commenting about some knee-jerk visceral reaction to one developer's approach to solving a problem. Nor is he blindly joining the agitprop bandwagon. He's taken the code (mainstream distro) and tried to use it. He found a couple bugs. He even tried work around those bugs only to be thwarted by even more bugs. All the while he's explaining what's going wrong and why he's upset. His reaction to the bugs is entirely appropriate given his past experience with Fedora: their (RH's) build quality is slipping.
- meaty 14y agoWell he's actually right. Honesty or loyalty - I'll pick the former over the latter any day.
- ciupicri 14y agoHe's right about the installer. I know that it's new and probably not finished yet, but the facts remains.
