So the question is not which has the bigger set of developers, it is what do you want. Bleeding edge, or slightly slower, but more stable.
I would go for the later.
A perfect example of this is systemd. The overall services and boot process has been managed by /sbin/sysvinit for 15 years or so.
Some claim it is getting long in the tooth, so systemd has been developed as a replacement. Fedora started using systemd a while ago. They have experienced many toothing pains. That effort has been pushed back to the upstream developers.
openSUSE 12.1 (released any day now) defaults to systemd for the first time. I fully expect there will be integration issues etc, but it should be far less traumatic than when Fedora made the same jump because all of the Fedora effort that openSUSE is able to leverage.
Thanks for the clear cut suggestion. On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 11:54 AM, Anton Aylward < NO EMAIL> wrote:
More, much more than that! Yes, there are the commercial and commercially supported offerings, but they are really fed from the "open", and even so, the sources to those commercial version of Linux are, unlike Microsoft Windows, open source as well. The real issue is commercial support.
Oh I see.
But while that exists, there are a couple of things very relevant.
First, there isn't a "Linux" company as there is behind Windows and OSX. Its all contributions by people volunteering their time and effort.
