[WBEL-users] whitebox: the pros and cons of hitchiking

[jwinger]

Jeez you guys. You complain about a free distro not putting out updates
in time. I am sorry if you are using this in a corporate environment and
need better support then you should be ready to either pay for it or
roll it yourself. You want same day response to sec updates pay redhat
and stop complaining.

My other suggestion get a firewall. I have not seen any advisories here
in the last month that were that critical. Most are small bugs.

I for one do not like the one person show either but I accept it if I
choose to continue using the distro. If you can't then move to another
distro.

My 2 cents
