X11, Window Managers Phoronix has up an article looking at the release of X Server 1.4.1. This maintenance release for X.Org, which many open-source operating systems depend upon for living in a graphically-rich world, is coming more than 200 days late and it doesn't even clear the BugZilla release blocker bug. According to Phoronix, there are more problems for X.org than just this one.

the whole money offer thing is shameful.

What's the difference between raising money via a fund and the way in which much of the rest of Linux is funded, by corporations paying the salaries of developers, whether it's the kernel, Gnome, KDE or a host of other things, Mysql for example? Linux moved on from the basement boys a long time ago.
