新Linux经济 [英] The New Linux Economy
问题描述
最近，我有一段时间试图为我的S3 / ProSavage芯片组购买Linux驱动程序
- 但这个任务现在差不多了最后，因为我已经找到了一群高兴的人用S3推动信封和
Savage芯片组驱动程序！
虽然我的任务可能听起来像是巨魔的食物来模仿Linux - 听我说
out。我想我已经发现了新的Linux
经济的部分信息。我们中的许多人批评了Microsoft Monolith。单一尺寸
适合所有Model T方法。我们更多批评的是这种模式如何不再有效。即使是有限的同构架构，仍然存在安全性，可用性，功能性，改变的步伐，满足客户需求等等方面的巨大缺陷......
我的任务告诉我的是，即使项目看起来模糊不清甚至不可能 - 新的Linux经济也是如此多样化，以至于有人/>
即使是最详细的问题。我的驱动程序知识带给我主板制造商，芯片组供应商，OEM芯片组
集成商，用户组，OSS开发组，邮件列表，新闻组等等。 />
on。但是这个知识和软件网络的每个部分都为这个难题添加了一点点b $ b。更重要的是，根据我的要求，具有
信息，对于有类似特定请求的其他人，还有
人满足需求。
这就是问题所在。硬件价格大幅下跌。我是一个
的受益者，因为我的新款Athlon 2400售价低于300美元是一台梦想的机器！好的，所以DVD驱动器和一些额外的东西 - 我为一个漂亮的
罗技鼠标，键盘和游戏手柄，并为老式的17
CRT，它'还不到600美元。当然，使用Suse，我的操作系统，应用程序
等都是免费的。好。所以你知道。有了所有这些便宜货，如果有人告诉我：是的，你可以为你的Suse机器配备一个3D驱动程序，
但它会花费你...嗯...说50美元。甚至说75美元。你知道吗？我会轻而易举地向这个团体支付这笔钱。事实上，我希望*向他们支付
的钱，并希望其他人也这样。
内部/许可/单片，破损和从十年前开始为386台机器编写的僵硬的Micrsoft代码，以及史蒂夫·巴尔默，比尔·盖茨和他所谓的所谓的兄弟 />
*基础*，我宁愿把钱捐给软件中的人们
社区谁实际上/正在增值/。

Lately, I have been having a bear of a time trying to acquire a Linux driver
for my S3/ProSavage chipset -- but that quest is now almost at an end as I
have located a noble band of people who are pushing the envelop with S3 and
Savage chipset drivers!
Though my quest might sound like food for trolls to mock Linux -- hear me
out. I think I have discovered part of the message of the new Linux
economy. Many of us have criticized the Microsoft Monolith. The one size
fits all Model T approach. What we criticize even more is how that model
no longer works. Even with a restricted homogeneous architecture, there
are still magnificent flaws in security, useability, functionality, pace of
change, meeting customer demand and so on...
What my quest told me is that even when a project seems obscure or even
impossible -- the new Linux economy is so diverse, that there are people
working on even the most detailed problems. My driver knowledge took me
to the motherboard manufacturer, the chipset vendor, the OEM chipset
integrator, user groups, OSS dev groups, mailing lists, newsgroups and so
on. But each part of this web of knowledge and software added a little bit
to the puzzle. What is more, as specific as my request was, there was
information, and, for others with similar, specific requests, there were
people meeting the need as well.
Here''s the thing. The price of hardware has dropped tremendously. I am a
beneficiary of that as my new Athlon 2400 for under $300 is a dream
machine! Ok, so with DVD drive and some extras -- I sprung for a nice
logitech mouse, keyboard and gamepad, and went for the old fashioned 17
CRT, it''s still under $600. Of course, using Suse, my OS, applications
and so on are free. Ok. So you know what. With all those bargains, if
someone said to me: yeah, you can have a 3D driver for your Suse machine,
but it''ll cost ya...um...say $50. Say even $75. You know what? I would
easily pay that group the money. In fact, I would *want* to pay them the
money and hope that others would as well.
Inside of /licensing/ monolithic, broken and stiff Micrsoft code that was
writen for 386 machines from a decade ago, and lining the stomachs and
pockets of Steve Balmer, Bill Gates and his egregious so-called
*foundation*, I would rather the money go to the people in the software
community who are actually /adding value/.
