[01:23] <darthrobot> Title: [Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Why you should not use it, at all - Siosm's blog]
[01:25] <rww> "Debian 7 if you’re OK with the packaging system"
[01:25] <rww> i can tell i'm going to disagree with this already
[01:27] <jyo> Yes, he suggests Debian 7 in the intro but keep reading until Reason 3...
[01:27] <rww> (1) and (2) are legit. (2) is not avoidable because Ubuntu does time-based releases. (3) is the usual Redhat user complaint that's fixable using config iirc. (4) sabdfl just +1ed someone asking for a MRE for mariadb [...]
[01:28] <jyo> (1) LTS enablement stack but sure.
[01:28] <rww> does LTS enablement stack mean they're dropping support for the kernel trusty comes with in a few years?
[01:28] <rww> (few < 5)
[01:29] <rww> (5) re: Pollinate sounds about right, and I dunno about the other bits. (6) lol
[01:30] <jyo> No, I think it's either original trusty for 5 or ride the enablement train until next LTS. At least that's what the wiki seems to suggest for 12.04
[01:30] <pleia2> nhaines: yeah, shame about the 18 months thing (not true of any releases anymore!)
[01:31] <rww> jyo: i think (1) is complaining about original trusty...
[01:31] <rww> "there's also the hardware enablement stack" doesn't really contradict it
[01:32] <rww> except to point out that kernel team has even more on their plate, which furthers their point
[01:33] <rww> anyways. that blog post belongs on omg!rhel
[01:36] <jyo> rww: Agreed.
[01:55] <nhaines> I don't understand how 53% to 34% to <3%.... is not impressive anymore?  That didn't make sense to me.
[02:08] <rww> hrm?
[02:09] <rww> oh, the table in the link
[02:11] <nhaines> In other news, the server CDs are actually DVDs.
[02:11] <nhaines> This is good because servers should be really powerful so you don't really want to run a server that only has a CD-ROM drive.
