Yes I know that and personally I feel that it rocks But the weirdest thing is that I was given a kind of short lecture on support .
It went on this way . <discussion-enterprise-talk> Them: Google uses linux on its servers ( as if they know exactly ) but why do people use Windows on their enterprise ? Me: Yeah windows is simple to use .. Them: No its becaus eof the glorious support microsoft gives that we are using windows based solution . Open source support doesn't mean anything to an enterprise... It went on like that to an extent that they would rather not have the product if they didn't get support and open source support via forums is un reliable as there is no person responsible. Me: The apache foundation is a responsible entity . You have 60% ( almost) depoloyments of apache on the server .. why do you question the founders. Them: There are people who offer LAMP support so we have no issues with it but shindig ?? Me: Have a look at containers like "linkedin" why would you have any questions? Them: No support is *a* must ! </discussion-enterprise-talk> Sorry for this message on dev list . Well I have tried partuza.nl and right now am installing shindig + partuza on my debian lenny . I will get back with real dev questions . @chris: partuza is wonderfull.. thanks to you and your team for making it rock :) Regards, Pavithran -- pavithran sakamuri www.pavithran.org
