Pretty good I must say. AWS however is using KVM only these days!

This is almost entirely wrong especially as far as QEMU, Libvirt and virt-manager are concerned. QEMU is a low level process that represents the virtual machine. It has no equivalent in Xen. Using QEMU directly is not a good idea unless you

It does imply that the opposite kind can't be found in Europe, otherwise you would also be better off paying a lower salary for them.

Perl 4 to 5 was quite successful. Perl 5 to 6 was definitely worse than Python 2 to 3, since the latter actually worked out in the end.

I am trying it now for some volunteers that I am building a web site for. Building the web site and responsive theme almost from scratch took about 10 hours of work, and further changes will only be the addition of news items ("posts&q

The second ranked solution (by me :)) shows that a more or less trivial assembly tight loop can get about 70% of the speed. The remaining 30% is... something else.

It's been 9 years. A few tempests in a teapot later you still have RHEL rebuilds (according to TFA nothing is changing in that respect), they are more timely than CentOS ever was before the acquisition, and you also got Fedora ELN Cent

And you're wrong. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html "Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise funds for development". Paying salaries is a way to fund developers. Ergo, distribu

I was a hobbyist contributor for 10 years before joining Red Hat and still do occasional contributions to random projects I use.

Why the fixation with "post-IBM"? Ever heard of PNAELV? https://lwn.net/Articles/578768/ for the history (up until 9 years ago).

Ok, call me back when it does.

Community expectations aren't necessarily correct and probably won't help paying the salary of thousands of engineers.

Sorry about that. I should have tried to keep the conversation level higher instead of playing with the time zone difference.

I don't have a view in which rebuild they saw bad-faith action from; but I have doubts something has changed at Oracle.

What could be done to improve it (while keeping in mind that Red Hat needs $$$ to continue development)?

It's not grsecurity's idea, it started on the 90s when Spender was in kindergarten or so. It's always been the way free software companies made money.

Interesting how you seem to know more about the relationship between Red Hat and IBM than the people who actually work at Red Hat and IBM.

What an idiocy. SRPMs can be used offline. The GPL requires the complete corresponding sources so you have to include the upstream sources anyway together with the binary RPMs; might as well bundle them in one file so you can share the meta

Give me a break. I have been in the "GPL arena" for almost 30 years (1996). When I started using free software I didn't even have Internet access at home and had to visit relatives one hour away to download it and send emails
