Well, simple.

1. If we invest time, money, displays and resources into software (like we have many times) and other companies have not, why should they benefit from our hard work?

2. Closed source generaly means it's some ones project, and spends allot of time on it, example, LCDProc has been indevelopment for 7 years now (+/-) and LCDC had more features in 3 months. Also, this general means we can pay some one to do it as well and feel safe.

Open source some times does not work, some times it does.

Well i'll gladly help in any way i can if you need somebody to alpha or beta test binaries. i knew youd have good reasons for having it closed source. just like to get as much info as i can. hope i didnt offend anybody

I would love to have something that could output simple infos about my server.. It is console-only, so just like the load, RAM usage, and eth0/eth1 in/out (that's 4 total lines, for everything ).. I haven't gotten my LCD hooked up to my server yet, because I have no software to run it. Once I get software, of any sort, I will be hooking it up.

How do people run their LCD's on a console-only Linux??

Also, OSS is better IMO (I write OSS web-software ) but the need for Closed Source is there, such as when a private company invests time and money into a project. Now, I bet that MO could have this done faster if they told the community what they wanted and the OSS people got behind it.. But this is just my 03:10 ranting

It's pretty simple: just cat what you want to the correct serial port.

Hello all,
