Comment Re:Part of this is because of US Export Restrictio (Score 1) 139

Yet another perfect example of something being a little hard to do, so security is just pushed to the side in order to ship a POS application. SDLC is around for a reason, just because it is a "free" or "consumer" application doesn't mean all security should be given up on. damn!

Well said...but you should have done it without being AC. I would have modded you up! BTW, the same goes for me. I have a CISSP-ISSAP, CCSA, JNCIE, CCIE and several other "C" credentials, I don't list them on my Resume to impress the technical folks, they simply get me past the HR guys. Once I get into the technical interview, I rely on my 20+ years of actually doing the job.

To the folks who said maybe the guys at CloudStack might think it is too hard to implement Hyper-V: WTF have you been smoking? These are the guys who built this from scratch, I doubt something would be "Too Hard" or that they were in some way too lazy to do it. To the folks who said Xen is not even in the picture: WTF have _YOU_ been smoking? Let's see...who uses Xen? RedHat, Oracle, Citrix, Microsoft (yep, they sure do!) and a host of other people from my measly little home box to MASSIVE hosting companies. My two centavos...

Back in the day...Mandrake had a thing called MNF - Multi Network Firewall. I used it and it was great, but it disappeared for some reason. I think if they would have kept headed down that road, they would have done much better, but they started having lots of issues, even back then, that were insurmountable by anyone at or near the helm of the company.

Yep, I wouldn't argue with you on the Intel Video Card point...they do suck, as do the GPUs. I guess by support I meant that you can install it without having to pass something to the kernel at boot before you can run the installation, or fiddle with it to get it to work.

Comment It is good, but (Score 2) 117

Like someone up there ^ said, it is fairly uninteresting. I wouldn't go as far as saying "who cares" though. I used version 8.x and it was pretty decent and stable, it didn't have support for Intel video cards, maybe that is fixed.

Comment Re:Race to the bottom (Score 2) 192

This is my mantra! Use what you NEED to, not what someone ELSE tells you that you need to use. My Macbook is running a Linux firewall in a VM that I am behind at the moment, typing this on a Linux Mint peecee on a desk next to my Windows 7 Laptop connected to the corporate network.
