Introducing pointy-haired bosses to FOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| The plain truth is that although most managers may have heard of Open Source,
| they don't have a clue what it is or how it works. Most of them think it is
| something like public domain software, stuff you can get for free, without
| warranty and without support. So the first thing you have to do is to tell
| them you can get support from reputable parties like Oracle, IBM, Novell and
| RedHat. If you're not happy with their support, you can change with more ease
| than you could with closed source software.
|
| Some CIOs are completely unaware that these parties provide updates. They
| think you have to monitor a multitude of websites or CVSes, search for the
| newest versions, download a tarball and recompile it. I always tell them
| jokingly: "Well, I don't know what I've been getting all these months, but it
| seemed like patches".

Red Hat returns to the Linux desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Does this mean that Red Hat will be getting back into the Linux desktop
| business? That's the question I posed to Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens, in a
| phone call after the Red Hat/KVM press conference, and he told me that, "Yes.
| Red Hat will indeed be pushing the Linux desktop again."
