I am very pleased with the open community environment that is available with
Ubuntu linux and this list. The availability of the source code for something
simple like a scanner driver made all the difference in my product selection.
Me and my cohorts would have been forced into Windows had I not been able to
quickly debug and modify the driver to support our hardware. It is this kind
of open community and spirit that is the epitome of why computer software
systems should be 'bazaar' or at least 'temple' developed ( if you know what I
mean).
Good stuff sane-devel.
Andrew out.
