In the News OSNews was tipped off that OEone (previous stories: 1, 2, 3), creators of the desktop HomeBase SUITE (based on Linux, X and Mozilla's APIs), now are moving to server space. Next week they are going to announce an exciting new product (under a new brand name: "Axentra Rumba Server") which puts Linux back to the server space, but with the form of a user-friendly and cute-looking appliance. *Updated*

Is it just me...

...Or are the companies nowadays really taking the magic out of server administration? What used to take balls the size of pumpkins and real men to admin now takes a few clicks from a braindead college kid.

Where will this end up? Sure enough, it'll end up in the same place it did with Microsoft products - more holes, less patches applied, less people who know what they are doing, less security, less privacy, etc.

This is awfully depressing. I was just about to install Debian on another server. I don't have faith in these "click-for-server" packages.

I'm probably just trolling.
