Businessweek Covers Linuxworld

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the places-to-be dept.

MadFarmAnimalz writes "BusinessWeek has coverage of Linuxworld up, and it makes interesting reading in places. Amongst things touched upon are the open-source business model, how vendors will be tempted into locking in customers into their offerings, and other things." I'll be out there tomorrow for the Golden Penguin Bowl, as well as judging exhibitors. Busy day.

    Modern Linux development is mostly done by big corporations such as IBM and SGI. What's the point of a community driven conference when the attendees are all suits (even if they aren't wearing them) and the rest of us don't get listened to anyway?


    Sorry man. I love Linux, but I'm sticking with a 2.0 series kernel. The security backpatches are there, and everything I need. Anything else I want, I write myself. Fuck the man!

    How would this work for companies like RedHat who only develop the OS?
