Precisely, petty is the word. Why do so many Arch zealots have contempt and paranoia
over other Distros? You want this to remain a Distro for the advanced user yet spend so much
effort denouncing others and apparently Open source ideals, why? Where do they become a
threat? Mr. McRae you are right when you stated you dont have to be paranoid. Do YOU
know what you want? You act like jealous little girls gossipping with mal-contempt. Why
don’t you people grow up and try to be as BIG as you feel, eh?

Look here to understand what’s going on with the kernel: http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean/suggestions/2814988-give-option-to-use-the-droplet-s-own-bootloader-

tl;dr – they’re booting an out of tree kernel

I have update the post with my initial experience. No real issues so far, so I am sticking with it.

DigitalOcean was on my list when I was looking for a KVM VPS. At that time they didn’t have any $5 droplets available in Amsterdam, because they ran out of IPv4 adresses. Today I saw that they don’t support IPv6 yet, so I’m gonna stay with fileMEDIA for the time being.

I’d be really curious to see some more details and hear about your experience. The $5/month Droplet looks pretty cool for the “hobbyist” who would otherwise pay the same price for shared web hosting (and all it’s limitations).

I think that these pesky arguments between Manjaro and Arch users needs to stop. I don’t care what the Manjaro users said about your operating system, the arguments make both of the teams look like children fighting over which has a better toy. I can understand defense of the community and projects but wouldn’t it be better if the combination of the two decided to work together instead of functioning in these factions?

Allan.

Just to let you know, “allanmcrae” is no longer on the forum system. As you can appreciate, the email address registered to that account in no way proves that it’s not you, which is why I queried it. On that point, one must take you at your word.

My hope is that the “heat” around this string cools rapidly & I’m confident it will – the types of users that Manjaro is aimed at will most probably have little interest in it. As for me, your blog provides a useful glimpse into the Arch universe, of which Manjaro is a part.

Go well & thanks for an informative blog.

RJ.

I have made a request that the account that posted that is banned. I’ll leave the “Allan” account open as then it will be clear if I ever comment on something.

Allan, whoever this person with username “allanmcrae” is, they have not done any trolling so far, but merely pointed Manjaro users in the direction of your blog. Given what you say about this not being yourself, I feel comfortable quoting the post here:

“Because of security issues, many new features will be added to pacman shortly. The developers at Manjaro have decided to use Arch Linux as a base, but not be involved in the development of Arch. Many of these new features will permanently cut Manjaro from the update cycle. You have no one to blame but your own short-sighted developers. Please view my blog http://allanmcrae.com/ as details will be posted soon – Allan”

This person claims to know about something you intend posting soon. I will make a request to the forum that this account be deleted, to avoid trolling in your name. Shall I ask them to delete the account name “Allan” as well, seeing as you don’t intend to use it?

Thanks,

RJ.
