Yes, the FS part of OCFS can be hard to spot :-). Perhaps they should
have called it OC...
Couldn't agree more regarding VMS. Very stable, very mature. Which is
why it's now dead.
I honestly think the biggest problem with any
super-dynamic/super-fast-evolving business, like IT, is that anything
that reaches a level of near-perfection with respect to the need of its
users... will be replaced by something more chaotic. I cannot find any
exceptions in the IT world, but would like to hear from anyone who can.
Mac is dead.
VMS is dead.
UNIX is dying. First Solaris, then Tru-64...
Novell is dying.
Oracle10g is pretty close to being perfect in my eyes.
