Re Debian “missing a big opportunity”

Monday, March 19th, 2007

The timing could have been better (since some will no doubt connect my words to today’s other news), but an interview I did with Linux Format at last month’s LinuxWorld Open Solutions Summit was published today, and quickly found its way to Slashdot, where I figured it would end up (read the interview—it’s right in there :-). I knew midway through that I was about to step in it, but these are things that needed to be said, and I’m pleased with how it ended up. Before you throw me to the wolves, read it all the way through, and think about it.
