Nobody trusts the USAanusians anymore! Trust takes decades to built and minutes to destroy. The American century is over!
To install that kind of spyware on THEIR OWN computers???
I just do not understand the compelling reason to install google shit on YOUR computer.. why??
Do you not know that their business model as privacy parasitism? If not, this is (or was anyhow.. shrug) probably not the news site for you.
PS: if "gmail" is your reason to volunteer to be assraped by those assholes you are either a lay bastard or a stupid bastard
If you elect that stupid sleazebag of an asshole for president, you are going to learn a lesson in humility, the hard way, and you are going to deserve it to !

I must confess that i havent upgraded ubuntu a lot from one relaese to the next. Debian on the other hand, i have dozens of servers with a LOT of applications dating back to sarge, that has all been upgraded to newest stable.
The most troublesome in my experince when upgrading Linux machines (debian or Ubunutu) is when there is a major shift in DE. Like from KDE 3.x to 4.x.
One thing that keeps impressing me is my laptop, i have been using the same installation (kubuntu 10.04) in three diffrent machines, just yank the disk, transfer it to the new machine and boot it up... not ONE reboot
Exactly, i have run my own (and a free account for all my friends, family and acquaintances for years. Postfix + amavis (+ fail2ban) takes care of almost all spam, no problems so far.
Off course allmost everybody is, apparantly wiling to sell out their privacy to the giant data-parasites like google for a little convenience.
Cant belive the goooooogle evangelist in here get to score five in anything but "funny"?
You cant upgrade Windows. Period. (from bitter experience)
(unless its a pristine install of the older version that has never been touched, but then whats the point
yeah.. programming for the FUCKING webbrowsers is just soo simple, consistent and enjoyable, i envy my developer colleagues every day (sysadmin, myself) MUARRRHARHARH
"thin clients.." my ass, who the hell is stupid enough to believe that it is possible to have the same functionality in the browsers as in a fat client without the same amount of complexity ??
Everybody it seems!
Try common of the shelf PC hardware.
We have been running OpenBSD on old AMD dual core MBs for quite some time now. The machines are fitted with an intel quad port GB adapter. but otherwise there completely standard PC's. We have a bunch of these MB's and every component is easily replaceble. We have two identical machines running side by side, so when its time to upgrade, we yank the cables from one box to the other. We have been contemplating to use CARP for failover, but i'm a firm beliver in simple things (the importance of KISS can't be overstated).
Throughput and stabilty is great. We de a lot of webhosting and have a lot of S2S IPSEC tunnels.
Furthermore the OpenBSD boxes can do some tricks that the trained monkeys, with their Checkpoint, cisco, juniper and so on at our customers sites , typically have never heard of (like port based ipsec routing for example).
If you have the knowhow, an "enterprise" firewall with all the service agreements, licensing costs and other thievery is just money out the window.
