Linux’s worst enemies? Linux fans

“Do you know why Unix failed to take off as a mainstream
operating system? It wasn’t because it was too hard to use. Mac OS
X, the universally acclaimed ‘easy’ operating system is built on
top of BSD Unix. It’s certainly not because Windows is better. It
wasn’t and it isn’t. No, I put most of the blame for Unix’s failure
on its internal wars. Unix International vs. Open Software
Foundation; BSD vs. System V, etc., etc. For the most part, Linux
has avoided this…. for the most part.

“That’s not to say that Linux doesn’t have its share of internal
battles that don’t do anyone any good. Free software founder
Richard M. Stallman’s insistence that Linux should be called
GNU/Linux puzzles more people than it does bringing anyone to
Linux, or GNU/Linux if you insist. In the last few days though,
another Linux family fight has erupted.”
