One thing i noticed about Jonathan's blog: http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/winds_of_change_are_blowing Jonathan is targeting the M in LAMP. SUN is probably targeting now the A(Apache) and the P(PHP) leaving only the L! This is good for mysql. I know one bank where they replaced a working mysql with oracle DB just because it's not "supported". The only concern is that the SUN's emerging dominance, clout and offering end to end support services from hardware+OS+application on the open source world is going to make Linux naturally irrelevant in the enterprise market. Perception matters in this market. One Linux vendor that can jostle (I'm looking at Redhat) and command a presence in the Open Source world looks like it's dropping opportunities like falling balls or flies, whichever you prefer. Don't get me wrong with Redhat, Have a friend in Toronto Stock Exchange, and they are deploying(I think it's already even live now.) RedHat/HP Blades to be used in their Trading Systems called Quantum System. That's a big one. But in the end... Redhat should make itself more relevant going forward. Maybe it's a money thing... -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
