Linux Dealt a rest BLOW by Apple !!!!!!! 2450
He has no point. He is trolling with gross mis-statements that faintly reference some valid facts.
Oh, that's not the half of it. A monoculture would be the culture that produces the kernel. A closed shop that is not open to public scrutiny, for example. Linux on the other hand is produced by *thousands* of programmers that are very loosely knit together. It is totally open to the public too, and anyone is able to join by simply contributing something of value.
Floyd L. Davidson Ah. But Linux - if it is JUST a kernel, is completely useless to anyone. Someone has to write at least a shell and some...
That in no way consbreastutes a software monoculture at its base. Then, as you note it begins to expand even from there, with many different systems supported, through at least two very much in use code tracks (v2.4 and v2.6 are both currently supported and widely used).
The person though is that each and every Linux distribution is virtually also a whole new software culture in and of itself by definition. There are dozens and I have no idea how many.
Claiming Linux is a "software monoculture" is ridiculous, and comparing it to Microsoft in that way is nothing but a troll.
None of which relates to what he said or what I said.
Well, like point 2, that is all true, but how does it relate to the monoculture business?
