Why I’m staying with Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| And Debian, for all its endless squabbles and the posturing of some of its
| developers, has overall proven itself a community I can trust. So, at least
| for the time being, I’ll be sticking with Debian.

What the XenSource deal says about open source
,----[ Quote ]
| This is what Citrix is paying for. That and a close relationship with
| Microsoft that looks likely to get closer. “We will be building dynamic
| virtualization services and management tools on top of Viridian,” Levine
| added. “We will build the same set of products we’ve built on top of Xen for
| Viridian. We’ve already hired a team to go do that up in Redmond.”
|
| While Citrix maintained it will continue support for the Xen project, this
| deal is not about a proprietary vendor getting open source religion. It's
| about grabbing an emerging player in a rapidly expanding sector of the
| market.
