The Bizarre Cathedral - 26

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/bizarre_cathedral_26

Linux is not a "Bazaar" and BSD is not a "Cathedral"  

,----[ Quote ]
| But either way, even if the two of them are similar, and they both use the 
| same development model, why are we still saying that Linux is a Bazaar and 
| BSD a Cathedral?  I think it's time we dispense with the fanboyism and old 
| school elitism and get back to reality.  Because if we're blindly 
| regurgitating and old dead, and obviously incorrect rhetoric, what else might 
| we be getting wrong?

Analysts: Windows' monolith design collapsing

,----[ Quote ]
| They also observe that Microsoft's emphasis on a single core for all variants 
| on an operating system makes even 2001's Windows XP less practical on some 
| platforms. On notebooks such as the Eee PC or Classmate PC, XP consumes twice 
| as much storage as custom Linux installations, which ASUS, Intel, and others 
| often use to pare down the size of the OS without sacrificing the features 
| they need.
