Red Hat Tries To Address Criticism Over Their Source Repository Changes - Slashdot

For the enterprise, that leaves SUSE. Personally, I think the best thing enterprise environments can look at are firms that provide support for FreeBSD, like Klara Systems. [klarasystems.com] Since they don't make a "distro" and FreeBSD is a full OS controlled by a foundation, your support guys can't pull the rug out from the open source community. Plus, since they don't own the system, their bug fixes go to the foundation, not their fork of it. Allowing the support guys to own the code is a recipe for disaster—they're incentivized to lock you in and implement Oracle-style anti-customer tactics. Unfortunately, the guys who pay the bills tend to like the IBMs and Oracles of the world.

Schoenberg: Drei Klavierstücke, Op. 11 (Pollini)
thumbnail

These wonderful little pieces are works that you (probably) have to learn to love, but which can be loved nonetheless -- and it certainly helps that Pollini plays them with intimacy and expressiveness. Though atonal, these pieces are nonetheless thinly swathed in the last vestiges of classical form and harmony: you can glimpse shades of lyrical melody, chordal accompaniments, ABA structure in the first piece, expressive appoggiaturas, pedal tones, and so on. Formally speaking there's a vast (unimaginably vast) number of things that can be said about these three pieces, standing as they are at the very threshold of full-blooded modern serial atonality, but that's not in fact that helpful if you want to just enjoy listening to these. So instead I suggest several ways of listening to these:

  1. Three tableaux: a silent evening in a house soon to be demolished, a funeral, a fire swallowing a factory.
  2. Five paintings: Picasso's The Blue Room, Francis Bacon's Head I / Böcklin's Isle of the Dead, Munch's The Scream / Kandinsky's Composition VII
  3. Three preludes: a nocturne out of late Liszt, a Brahmsian intermezzo/lament, a piece out of Schumann's Kriesleriana.
  4. Three myths: Sisyphus, Dante, Zeus and Leda.
  5. Music for films from the black-and-white era. Imagine whatever you choose.
