Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report)Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report)Posted Jul 26, 2006 21:45 UTC (Wed) by peace (guest, #10016)In reply to: Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report) by josh_stern Parent article: Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report)
I have a hard time believing that this guy is a Java developer if he expects everything to be handed to him on a silver platter. Seriously. This guy was trying to do Java development, not scan a photo of his grand kid or check his e-mail. Ubuntu has to make decisions based on what the most likely scenario is for their target audience. Ubuntu is trying to be friendly to people who just want a computer that works so they can browse the web, e-mail, write a document, etc. Cluttering Synaptic with a bunch of dev tools will not help that goal.
Ubuntu has made the right decisions regarding what to include in their out of the box install. If you'r a developer on Ubuntu be thankful that it's just a few trivial configuration changes to get yourself setup.
Kind Regards

Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report) Posted Jul 27, 2006 15:13 UTC (Thu) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] I dunno. Ubuntu (specially 6.06LTS) is supposed to be an Enterprise ready Linux system, and that certainly includes developing Java stuff.
Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report) Posted Jul 27, 2006 15:34 UTC (Thu) by peace (guest, #10016) [Link] They say enterprise ready but I think they are refering to the Server version of Dapper that they are going to support for 5 years.
Also, enterprise ready does not mean it's ready for _your_ enterprise right out of the box with all the shortcuts and desktop backgrounds necessary for the opporation of your core data services. You will still need to tailor it to meat your needs. As I said, this is trivial so all the fuss seems like so much whining.
Kind Regards
Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review (Jem Report) Posted Jul 27, 2006 17:10 UTC (Thu) by arafel (subscriber, #18557) [Link] Depends on what you mean by "Enterprise Ready". I mean, I'd never have thought of Java development as a requirement for that.
Plus, to be honest, if the guy can't work out the mechanics of removing gij and installing Sun's JDK, I don't want to run anything he's written...
