[News] The Linux Disconnect from Other Subsystems

Greg Kroah-Hartman’s Linux Ecosystem

,----[ Quote ]
| Greg considers the “Linux ecosystem” to be GCC, binutils, the Linux kernel, 
| X.org, and a handful of other projects.  He disregards most of the desktop 
| stack (including GNOME and KDE), all desktop and server applications, and 
| most anything else that is recognizable to an end user as “Linux”.   
| 
| Some members of the audience picked up on this and commented.  His 
| justification for this was that these other components are not specific to 
| Linux.  “Any contribution to GNOME also benefits OpenSolaris”, says Greg.  
| Apparently, this means that GNOME isn’t an important part of Greg’s Linux 
| ecosystem.  “I had to draw the line somewhere”, he says.    
| 
| This is not the Linux ecosystem that I use and contribute to.

Kernel-Log: Hard core Linux developers discuss the future of Linux at the
Kernel Summit

,----[ Quote ]
| Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton and eighty other important kernel developers 
| are now debating how they plan to proceed with the future development of 
| Linux at the Kernel Summit 2008 in Portland, Oregon. They are less concerned 
| with drawing up a road map or working on specifying new kernel functions – 
| the former doesn't exist and the latter is part of the day-to-day business on 
| the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML).

"It just tells you how desperate Microsoft is for a competitor that they’re
holding up a software box produced by 100 guys in the hills of North Carolina.
Who are they trying to kid?"

                --Robert Young, CEO of Red Hat
