They should open source the agent and let the community help keep it updated.

I don't use Ubuntu in any circumstances that would require being backed up.

It must be a Fedora thing.

Anyone try CentOS?

I understand. I don't necessarily like it either, but sometimes you don't have a choice.

FreeNAS 11.1 releases. Whatever happen to the FreeNAS 10 family? Oh yeah, it was so bad that they skipped the numbers completely.

I can understand why they feel that way. Wayland has no network transparency so it’s going to be a full Remote Desktop session of some type (VNC, SPICE, etc.).

I think they possibly just worded it strange.

This is interesting. I really like the part where they want all algorithms to be open source.
