Linux has a rather weird policy when it comes to bugs ;-)

BSD was always meant for the hardcore sysadmin/developer

When LUGM introduced me to BSD, it seemed to be lacking


in features. Taking a closer look shows attention to code,
better engineering and a minimalist approach which is closer
to the UNIX ways.


That's the question which Eric Raymond tries to answer in his article.



Is the Cathedral approach (BSD) really better than the Bazaar approach (Linux)? Logic would say that the Cathedral is better (as exemplified by Microsoft for example) but no one can argue that the anarchy around Linux (the Bazaar) seems to rally more people and as you know "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".
