An animation I did years ago (2001) as introduction for a college work linux vs unix. It was a joke!

Created on an pentium 133 64 MB (that times!!)

@SjoerdReligion You and I are having different view points here I think..

I view community coded as no profit / hobbiest people coding it.

[SjoerdReligion]

@JamesManes Yes, and thousands of Linux apps are also coded by large companies.

OpenOffice was coded by Sun, and now Sun is bought by Oracle.

That Oracle is ditching OpenOffice is true, that' s why they (Google, Redhat, Canonical and a few other companies) embracing the new LibreOffice, a fork of OpenOffice.

About X.Org, to be honest I'm not that sure but I am sure that Firefox, OpenOffice, KDE, VLC etc.. are not community coded.

And you missed my whole point 'bout Supercomputers :)

[JamesManes]

@SjoerdReligion many drivers**

@SjoerdReligion

First of all, BSD is wonderful. It just doesn't have many rivers :/

Now Firefox is not completely community coded. Xorg is coded by a group of like what, 4 people? Xorg is a complete clusterfuck and you know it. That mess of code is almost un-readable. It cannot even sync to the vertical blanking period by itself. OpenOffice is community coded... Oracle is not deving on it. Thousands of linux apps are community coded.

@JamesManes

You should really get yourself informed...

Firefox is community coded? Just like OpenOffice KDE and Xorg... right.

And supercomputers only run Linux because it can be easily manipulated, that's why they do not use BSD for example? (Needless too say, BSD is quite popular for servers and an excellent operating system ;-))

[JamesManes]

@SjoerdReligion No no... super computers run linux because it is opensource and can easily be manipulated toward the super computer itself. This is for performance reasons.

As for companies, sure big companies dev the kernel. However MOST of the software that is made for linux including the desktop environments (kde, gnome) are all community coded. So basically you are taking a good kernel and covering it with shit. And by shit I mean Xorg, gnome andor kde, and half-assed applications.

[SjoerdReligion]

@JamesManes

That's right!

That's why I choose too not use products developed by little amateur hobbyist companies like IBM, Novell, Google, Intel, Oracle and Redhat. (Linux is for a huge part written by the named companies)

That's why 75% of the code of Linux has been written by paid developers...

Google, IBM etc.. are all little hobbyist companies that no-one has ever heard of.

That's why 98% of the supercomputers and the majority of servers run Linux, to save some money.

LOL

@ubuntucore

That comment was adreessed to me?

[nachogarciaescudero]

Once again, What I was trying to explain was OpenSource soft Is not always free (its explained in the GNU license) And is not mandatory that linux (GNU/Linux, if you prefer) has to be for free. Of course red hat develops RedHat RHEL RHAS,...(no free) and fedoraCore (free) There are also people that grabs Redhat RHEL, RHAS,... source code, compiles, packages, and distribute them for free (CentOS) the free and unofficial distro of RedHat

Once again you didn't pick the idea

[nachogarciaescudero]

well, let's have peace :) Despite 99% of people calls it linux its correct name is GNU/Linux. (It would be more accurate to call it GNU) but anyway....

Do you always use GNU/Linux to refer to it? Dont you get the idea I was talking about?
