I got out of IT ages ago but still run my own Debian setup which I’m now using as my new business’ server.

I spent over a week trying to get two Java apps running on Java System Application Server or Tomcat. I finally managed on Tomcat.

While there is tonnes of stuff available through open source, the installation process is still fraught. This is partly due to the number of possible platforms and configurations.

But that might be the silver bullet open source is waiting for - deploying configuration managers (registries?) that applications can standardise their installtion process by. The Open Standards project is one attempt at this, but there is a very long way to go.

Sorry, just wanted to share my rant about a lost week I did not have.
