If you compare GNU/Linux to 40 Millions of code-lines Windows 2000 Code, how many lines of code sum up if you take the basic applications except for the Linux kernel into account. Add a comparable user interface (GNOME, KDE) and the basic system commands. 2 Milllions for the kernel (including all drivers) and another 1 Million for the rest, or more....? What's your estimation, a tenth of Microsoft code size with same functionality?
