In my world, GNU/Linux is not a crappy imitation Solaris that you get to pay out the wazoo for to Red Hat (and get no documentation and lousy tech support that doesn't even cover your hardware). It's a full-source-code platform on which you can engineer robust industrial and consumer products, because you can control the freeze and release schedule component-by-component, and you can point fix anything in the system at any time. -- Michael K.
