Perhaps I have been living in my own hole of the earth a little to long. I have been using linux for a good while now I got on right as 2.0.0 was out and that was a huge thing. I'm not yelling at anyone or saying anything bad about a person. Butt free software has found its way to me largely without any help from eric raymond. I didnt even know who he was before today. Now Im reading all these semi-flames and all about ESR A friend of mine who has been interested and using Free software before most of us could pronounce computer introduced me to the *nix world. So my conclusion is. Sooner or later this would have happened? Perhaps without the aggresive domineering attitude that I'm seeing portrayed more and more. That is not cool. Best thing for linux and free software to make its way into corporate america is to be a time tested and proven tool for corporations not something that they heard about yesterday and are trying to use the next. Sure technology changes on a daily basis and the world seems to move at a amazing pace. But there is a point when things need to be looked at carefully and things need to slow down. Now linux is on a radical and unalterable course IMO. The linux society is in a lot less control now of where linux goes. Now that its been dumped into the lap of corporate america by aggresive persons such as ESR. This may not be the worst for OSS and all that. But I dont guess its the best either..
My two cents.
Right or Wrong all people think differently thus have different opinons.
