An anonymous reader writes "XYZComputing has a great interview with Martin F. Krafft, the author of "The Debian System". From the article: 'Despite Debian GNU/Linux's important role in today's computing environment, it is largely misunderstood and oftentimes even discounted as being an operating system which is exclusively for professionals and elite users. In this book Krafft, explains his concept of Debian, which includes not only the operating system but also its underpinnings. Debian is not only a robust and scalable Linux distribution, but it has many other features which are worth looking into, like its open development cycle and rigorous quality control.'"

As interesting as the technology by Anonymous Coward · 2006-01-18 11:01 · Score: 5, Insightful

The organization is as interesting as the technology. Lots of people are willing to put in lots of volunteer time.

I wonder how long it will be before the business schools start to take notice of successful open source projects and learn a bit about management.
