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.

I'm sorry, but that is completely unacceptable.


I'm sorry but you can't really decide this. You didn't pay for X (not directly at least) and have absolutely no right to demand any quality or release style. Unless you contributed to it, you have NO absolutely NO right to demand anything.

Well, in this case X also has NO absolutely NO right to be taken seriously for any system other than the adventurous hobbyist's one. *shrug*

So when you disagree with someone you deduct points and make a smart allack remark rather than actually addressing the issues that were raised.

Mate, starting acting your age, not your shoe size; this website is getting as pathetic and juvinile as a combined version of digg, slashdot and kryo5hin.
