- XVampireX, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14You know what the GPL says? That the code must be freely available for anyone to use as they wish. That means that it will keep being open for everyone to use and that means the community. Idiot.
- BigManOnCampus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Wrong wrong wrong. What this means is Linux has outgrown it's home. It has moved out of the house and it's standing on it's own now with the big boys. There is no death here, only a coming of age. If the community that gave birth to it did a good job of parenting, then Linux will continue to be extremely influential in the computer world, and that should give it's parents great pride.
No death here. Only graduation. - schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Dude, fix the headline. This is just attention-begging.
- vizerei, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8He is an idiot. The "oldest sun" of linux is red hat? I don't even see him listing slackware, not to mention a few others I would have liked to see.

- bestadvocate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4XVampireX, thats not what the article is about. The article is about the community lead distributions are no longer the leaders in open source development. This can easily change, and its not even true since Debian continues to be essential to the GNU/Linux community, and Slackware is anything but dead. I will certainly agree with this article that these communities seem to be growing smaller and as disenfranchised from the seats of power now more than ever.
The title of the article is definitely stupid though. Perhaps he was trying for a flame war? Bring some Renaissance of some kind? - onnoot, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Steven is not an idiot, he writes good articles. He just feels a bit sad. He'll cheer up when Dell starts to offer Linux.
