It's a miracle when...

[Richard A. Johnson]

Fedora says it has friends! You do not make friends with your FUD campaigns 
Mr. Aboutbol.

Why? Read this:

Jack Aboutboul is one big crybaby if you ask me. My 2 favorite quotes are 
these:

QUOTE 1::
In the Dell keynote at LinuxWorld, company CTO Kevin Kettler demonstrated how 
easy it was to set up virtual machines on Ubuntu. Aboutboul noted that Ubuntu 
had made use of the "libvert" tool, which actually originated with Fedora. 
 "Every innovative thing is coming from Fedora," Aboutboul said. "We've been 
telling this to people all along and libvert is one example. Everyone else 
pulls from us; we had it first."

I would love for Fedora to start using Upstart so this guy can eat his words. 
He almost makes it sound like we took it from them. It is sad if you created 
the utility, you don't understand how to use it, and because Ubuntu rocked 
your world with the VMs using your utility that you created, you try to turn 
it around and make us look like a bad guy.

QUOTE 2::
"Am I pissed off? No," Aboutboul said. "If you want your desktop Linux to look 
like Windows, Ubuntu is great. Otherwise use us, you'll have a better 
experience."

Since when does Ubuntu look like Windows? OMG, this guy is noted as an 
anti-FUD person, but it is funny in this interview all he is doing is spewing 
FUD. This guy has a prominant role in Fedora and yet he goes around being a 
huge idiot. By the way Fedora, the 1980's just called me and said they want 
their icons back! Fedora has a wallpaper of hot-air (fits this guy perfectly) 
balloons, and a different color scheme. Last time I checked, MS is all about 
the blue, and Ubuntu is all about the brown (no not UPS either).

His blog also has a write-up of OSCON recently and he goes on to say that 
Ubuntu users and developers not only complimented Fedora, as our community 
members are without a doubt a superior group of human beings and those 2 
aliens over there, but he also said that these people also vented to him and 
his booth because Canonical or Ubuntu didn't have a booth there.
