Hi, guys...just got back from a spin around the floor of the LinuxWorld
show in NYC.
My overall impression...
Where's the beef?!
Linux gotta stop spending so much time talking about the OS and OS
management tools and start talking about real live applications that
happen to run on Linux.
I found almost no vendors with applications for creating new stuff,
almost no content management or authoring. Everything was monitoring
Linux, intrusion detection, database replication, usage monitoring.
All this is great...but without work being done on it, there is nothing
in the database to replicate, nothing to steal once I get in, and no
users to monitor.
