Gnutella will move on without bonzi buddy and his limewire friend. Not only has LimeWire deserted its M$ Windows users due to all of this spyware (whose lack thereof attracted many of us), but LimeWire has also deserted its Linux users due to Java-Limewire conflicts that simply didn't exist in previous versions. After wasting time with version 1.8, I found my favorite version -- 1.4b on Tucows and was up and running in no time. Remember LimeWire: Gnutella is not only capable of continuing with the loss of large nodes, it's also capable of continuing without one software company.
