I have read all this discussion about linux vs. "the rest of the world".
Why not to say: "One, who wants this or that can take it, its out there,
you can pay for it, you can even pay more, by getting less, you will get
phone-lines
for blaming people, who will not help and/or urge you to proof, that the fault
is in their software (WATCH THAT MANY "MADE FOR XYZ"-STICKERS ON ALL THAT
EQUIPMENT!" If one wants that: TAKE IT! IT DOES EXIST!
And if one wants to live with an operating system, that many people
on the net have taken responsibility for (and it _must_ be
responsibility -- otherwise we haven't got THAT FAR!!!) and can be asked
for a helping hand (not for blaming reasons!), TAKE IT NOW! Share the
responsibility, give ideas, participate, spread, look for, find, make your
research, learn, innovate don't imitate!
I think, one big difference is: One can made others responsible for
something OR she can take part in the process, taken his own
responsibility -- no one urges you to be a "kernel hacker in five minutes -
my new own module in ten..." -- even a good failure report will help!
BUT: After all, it is YOUR choice!
I have take my choice -- and I wish my company have had taken
the same.......
KEEP HACKING!
