Lack of Testing Threatening the Stability of Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the gummi-bears-for-kernel-testers dept.

sebFlyte writes "Andrew Morton, a Linux kernel maintainer, has said that he thinks that the lack 'credit or money or anything' given to those people who put in long hours testing Linux releases is going to cause serious problems further down the line. In his speech at Linux.Conf.Au he also waded into the ongoing BitKeeper debate, saying 'If you pick a good technology and the developers are insane, it's all going to come to tears.'"

    This makes the assumption that there are no women testing linux... Or that all of the women are lesbians. Which actually makes more sense. Have you actually looked around and seen who is using linux?
