Re: [libreoffice-users] MariaDB 5.5.33 Now Available

Hi :)
I think Oracle has always gone too far.  I suspect the delay with Slackware switching was due to 
just how embedded MySql is in so many things and they wanted to make sure MariaDb really would work 
in as many of those places or ways as possible.  

Thanks for the feedback!  I feel a bit vindicated again :)  It is going to affect office systems so 
i figure it is good for us to be aware of what is going on.  
Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)

FYI: I just checked the latest Slackware Linux development distro and 
they have switched to Mariadb for the next release.  Slackware has a 
history of dropping software packages when the supplier varies from the 
Open Source paradigm or refuses to fix security problems. I guess Oracle 
has gone too far.
