CentOS guarantees binary compatibility with RHEL. That's why it matters.

Would it be too hard to add non TCP traffic tunneling? This already supports DNS traffic through the tunnel but I wonder it is feasible to tunnel all kinds of traffic (UDP and ICMP mostly) through it?

What Debian released is an stable distribution that is going to be maintained for the next 3 or 4 years. It is better to release something stable and well tested than bleeding edge stuff.

Many people don't get Debian. This is a released aimed for servers and stable workstations. If you want or need bleeding edge stuff you can use Debian testing/unstable or Ubuntu as you suggested.

The next release of Debian stable will have Python 2.6 as default and it is expected for the first weekend of February, so it is safe to start with Python 2.6 right now.

Why not use something very simple like SuperGenPass? http://supergenpass.com/

I thought the same thing. Very hilarious episode, nevertheless.

Install Apache on a VPS with 64MB or 128MB of RAM is a hassle.

Hey jacquesm, thanks! Could you setup mariana.ww.com CNAME epiphany.net.ve?

You know, maybe somebody would want to know the Debian POV on this issue:

Debian is all about stability and volunteer effort.

Whining is not going to fix things.

If you need plain old Postfix, you just aptitude install postfix.

If you need LDAP support in your Postfix instance, you just aptitude install postfix-ldap.

Is it really that hard?

And regarding OpenSSL, the problem is not in Debian. Just check http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

OpenSSL always had a problematic license.

gandi.net offers all you need. I use that for all my domains.

Pretty cool mockup... Have you been able to develop that idea? I like the idea and I would like to help developing a site like this.

ikiwiki (http://ikiwiki.info/) as static site generator looks cool to me.

Caracas, Venezuela. Is there nobody else from here?

Not all Debian developers agree with this "decision" anyway. They are right now discussing it. See: http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2009/07/msg00148.html

Same here. From Venezuelan IP...

The funny thing to me about this article is I am already living in a country where you can live reasonably well with 500$/mo (I born and live in Venezuela). But you know what? This cheap third world country is a big piece of shit because of its political situation (Chavez).

So, from my point of view, I am just planning how to leave my country. But move to another third world country?? No way man... I would prefer to live in a expensive first world country and work as developer/codemonkey/entrepreneur/whatever.

So, if you choose to "retire" to a cheap third world country, check its political situation and background. Now, if you just don't care to be rescued by UN blue helmets when shit hits the fan, just be my guest...

That's right, and because of that my applications deployed on there have 2 branches: one using Google DB and other using data models provided by Django. IMHO, developing this way is pretty easy and prepare you to migrate your apps if necessary.

you can host webapps written in Python and use Django on there (or just almost any other Python framework). That doesn't look like vendor lock-in to me, if they decide to shutdown the service, you can move your webapp to another place, like your very own server.
