Comment IFolder concept great implimentation nightmare (Score 1) 98

iFolder sounded like a perfect product for me and my business. It goal: to transparently integrate a network file system into desktop experience. Where you can store, backup, share, access file from any location that is networked is awesome. The transfer are encrypted and there is a full featured easy to use web admin portion. It would be awesome for simple collaborative file exchange activities,

However, do not even try to install this product on fedora core (It might be easier on fedora core 5 because on the mono integration, I don't) or rhel or any derivative. The dependencies need are just insane. The first being mono which is way enough to install. The pain start when you need to install log4net (which no rpm i found exists). Since it is built in .NET framework it require you to setup nant. My god, I've been using linux for 10+ years now on a daily basis but this was completely painful.

SUSE must be taking a page from the Apple notebook. Build a great product and use it to push your OS. Which is fine, using virtualization does solve this issue since you can just create a slice of SUSE.
