“It seems I cannot pick up a paper these days without seeing
Linux touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Upon reading
these rave reviews, I can’t help but think that most of this
admiration is emerging from a revulsion to Microsoft Windows, as
well as the relatively low cost for the Linux operating system
compared with other versions of Unix.”
“But I think it’s critical that we, as a community, keep a
perspective on the impact of Linux for the following reasons.”
“Linux is an open-source project; therefore, all changes to the
kernel are subject to review and approval by a small team that
controls this portion of the operating system. Companies that add
features they need, but that are not accepted into the core
distribution, may find themselves in a redevelopment and retesting
cycle every time a new version of Linux is released.”
