You get the guarantee only because it is open.īTW, none of “IBM, Google or Oracle” fit your description of “the ocassional gov’t agency which may require it due to regulations”. This scenario guarantees that there no nasties in the code.

Those organisations know exactly what they are doing, they look at the open source code, and they use the code in question … and even contribute back. End users of the code who know what they are looking at, and who have a capability to verify that what they can see is what is in the repositories (ie, they can audit the code), and who are seen to use the code themselves on systems they own and are responsible for. There are literally thousands of such people worldwide. Why is this so? Because there are people who did not write the code, but who can read code very well, and who do read the code, and who use the system themselves. You didn’t do too bad a job, either.Īccess to the source code is valuable even for people who don’t know a line of code from a strand of spaghetti. Also, the source code - assuming the compiler and hardware are not in error - is nearly always more precise documentation of an API than separate documentation.Įdited to get try to get the nested quotes correct

I can agree that the kind of software can influence the degree to which it is useful, but I’ve had experience with “high level” software that failed as a result of OS bugs as well. What *have* helped a lot is to have good system and api documentation and that is what have helped me. I’ve never been helped by the fact the the source of the OS I’m using is available. That depends on what kind of software you make. “Those that develop and support such software will be more efficient (and hence cost effective) when source code is available.” Given that, it was none of my business how much experience you (Soulbender) had it was relevant regarding Jason, since he raised the issue of experience. Nonsense like this makes me so furious, especially when it is painfully obvious that the person spouting it out has zero experience out in the trenches with the real IT folks.įirst, an apology I was responding as if the message I responded to was jason.knight, whom I originally replied to. So you’re saying that Linux is immune to technical, security, and legal woes? If that’s the case, why isn’t it more widespread within corporate IT? Hell, why hasn’t Windows been stomped out of existence by now? “Saving just one incident (either technical, external/security or legal) with Windows will easily pay for your new staffer who knows Linux and can minimise your reliance on Windows.” A system is also only as good as its least competent admin (which surely won’t be a ‘new graduate’ as you recommended). Such as what? A system is only as reliable as its last backup, or its last virus scan, regardless of the flavor of OS running it. “There are a lot less ways (both technical, external/security and legal) that your mission-critical server can fail to meet its mission with Linux than there are with Windows.”

I cannot stress this enough…outside of academia, virtually no one cares about the the psuedo-benefits provided by having full access to Linux source code. No one cares about having the source code to Linux, outside of the ocassional gov’t agency which may require it due to regulations. “It is considerably easier to “be comfortable” with Linux, after all, when you realise that with Linux you can see the source code so there are no hidden nasties in it” I don’t mean to be rude, but get a couple years experience out here in the real world of IT and then you’ll have some authority to at least sound like you know what you’re talking about.
