Yet Another Linux Blog; By Devnet

This article is a small letter to Stephen Harpster's most recent blog entry which chastises Lxer's Tom Adelstein for his look at the JDS. "Sorry Stephen, but Tom Adelstein was right...JDS is a throw away desktop...that's what you do to old Linux distros that stop their development.

Allow me to put this in simple terms. The last release of JDS (2.0) came in May of 2004. Prior to that, JDS had released 6 months before in 2003...that would have been a good model to emulate...6 month release cycles. Perhaps even a published timeline and established release cycle would help...but all of this is dust in the wind and is obviously not on the forefront of Sun's mind."

A year ago you would have made "Today's Big Story". But Sun has become about a relevant as a June bug in December. So, nobody cares any more.

And now that ponytail Schwartz has stopped talking (Thank Goodness that someone told him to SHUTUP) we can forget about those guys.

Still, nice article, we constucted, well thought out, well written --A++++

I think it's very relevant- we may think that Sun is yesterday's old moldy blowhard, but they're still a $14 billion company with a lot of influence. And they hold the keys to Java and OpenOffice. So we need to continue to hold their feet to the fire on their linux-bashing and inexplicable reversals.

They're also the primary driving force behind AMD and AMD's technology lead.

If you like AMD, you sorta have to like Sun... though I'll admit... I usually go for the bare minimum when it comes to liking Sun. They speak with forked tongue.
