[General] Sun to Begin Close Sourcing MySQL

[Majed B.]

The thing is, previously (before this announcement) Enterprise
features were open source and were also thron at the community version
& mostly what the difference was, is the support.
Now, by close-sourcing the Enterprise version, MySQL community-version
is gonna stink .. a DB without a backup? Seriously? the community is
gonna become functionally-retarded eventually that no one would care
to use it on a production system, and maybe not even development.

I think instead of looking for shared hosts that have mysql typically,
I'll get my own linode (www.linode.com) install the distro I like and
Postgres from now on.
