Pardon, I did program open source around twenty years ago myself. I programmed a MIDI sound sampler for the C64 and some other MIDI and audio stuff. There was a big difference for the hardware, it was always the same, resp. we also developed hardware in the community, but there was no difference for bug reports, excepted that we don't had the internet, but the schoolyards. There were "user groups" for the Atari too. Bashes and flame wars I only know from Linux. And I guess that those people I really heave troubles with aren't developers, aren't people that make music them self. By the way, I also programmed for DR DOS, while I prefered Assembler, for DR DOS I programmed in C. I never liked something but open source.

There are a lot http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergleich_von_BSD-Betriebssystemen, but I don't know any BSD and I never heard that BSD should be fine for music.
