If you have to use U2 on a 'freedom' version of Red Hat, I suggest that you have a look at CentOS - centos.org and use that instead of Fedora. What's not freedom about Red Hat? I suspect the more important word is *modern* - for which CentOS will be no better than Red Hat. (The only thing that could be unfree about Red Hat is the trademarks, which Red Hat are obliged by law to enforce if they want to keep them. And as far as libre software goes, trademarks are an irrelevance.) Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Friendfeed and U2 EDA similarities
IIRC, the company that asked for it was losing sales to competitors for their app based purely on name-brand and needed to store data on DB2 for a customer. DB abstraction is a good thing. Would be cool if we had a real ORM, but as we have seen, instead of using industry practices, we have yet another very specialized tool. I think it works well, but I would be wary of MSV data when expecting live updates.

Re: [U2] [SPAM?]Re: silly company names
We have a silly marketing ploy in my town that tweaks me every time I drive by. A local security company has their sign on the pole upside down. Been that way for 3 years now. I have no idea why they have not made them flip it over, but it certainly draws the eye. G.

Over half the development I did last year was simply handling differences between Win7x64 and previous versions.. which in turn meant upgrading my development platforms (Delphi and .Net) and dealing with THEIR backward incompatibilities, spending stupid amounts on new installation software to rebuild all my setups and discovering that they were also not backward compatible with regard to the plug-in DLLs I needed (and the first one I bought ONLY worked on Win7 and not on XP, as I discovered too late), and then changing my licensing routines and where I install data .. did you know that there is actually now NO place in Windows 7 where you can officially install updatable files that can be shared between users without breaking UAC? All of which has taken months of my time that should have been better spent on improving the products, not hitting my head against whatever walls Microsoft keeps raising.

I've also noticed that every upgrade breaks something. Sometimes you get lucky and things run for 10 years, then one day, BAM! A program stops working after you upgrade the database.

Re: [U2] Friendfeed and U2 EDA similarities
The main benefit for EDA is to be able to tell clients that your application runs on Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc. At the end of the day the customer may just run U2, but it enables a VAR to meet a criteria. Tender documents might require that products have to run on Oracle that would have denied U2 applications the opportunity. Termenos has sold their pick application on Oracle. As a banking system, customers feel more comfortable with Oracle as a database, so why loose the sale when you can say I run on Oracle. The question is, how much of the Database needs to be put on the external database to satisfy a customer's expectation. Do you just transport information for enquiry/data warehouse data or do you transfer the whole transaction database. One are to be aware is that most pick applications are pessimistic locking and SQL databases prefer optimistic locking for performance. It would usually require U2 to the only application updating the database.
