>>13Good enough for what? As far as code quality goes, Linux is pretty bad and the reason it survives is that hardware vendors suck its dick, or more accurately let it suck theirs, probably because unlike projects like OpenBSD Linux allows horribly implemented opaque drivers that are open-source in license only. If they were to collectively drop it tomorrow, it would suffer the same fate as the BSDs. So Linux succeeded for economical, rather than technical reasons — exactly what got us into the Unix mess to begin with. I'm not really seeing this point.
