I like Java, really. Learning it might be a good idea as the article suggests, you might find you like it too. It's solid, fast, tons of libraries, it's efficient for programming IMO.

This is true, Linode's support is top notch responsive. I've been with them for several years, no issues, great uptime, they keep bumping up what they offer without touching the price. There's no per hour gotchas. What they say they offer,

Unity here I just wish they would add some functionality to the Launcher and top panel like Gnome 2 has. Like, adding an icon to the Launcher that points to a shell script that starts a program is almost black magic to get it to work. In Gn

If they get away from utility pricing and go flat like Linode then that might be interesting. It's the same reason I don't use AWS, nickel and diming practices.

Mel Gibson? I don't get that but his response was fair and considered and correct. The OP trolled a highly subjective argument about who's the best drummer which completely missed the point of the original comment and the entire story.

Ok, you have a good point. I'll instead list Open Office and LibreOffice and Symphony and Lotus Notes. Those are hugely complex GUI's and work as good as or better than anything proprietary out there in the same class pf products.

Ubuntu has won the Desktop and Server Linux wars so the article is no longer valid. RedHat doesn't even care about Desktop Linux or consumers using Linux.
