The founder of the net views talks to open source code to develop 12 reasons
[From: chinabyte]
CHINABYTE News Network A Pioneer - One of the founders of Netscape Communications (Netscape Communications) Mark Anderson has a good grasp of future development, so when Software OPSware (Anderson is also one of the company's founders Launched Linux-based Opsware System 4 system software last December, his faithful followers have expected the upcoming giants. It may be that many people need more detailed explanation, Anderson presents that the opening source of open source in the next decade in the next decade last week will become more and more 12 reasons for important and rapid development.
1. "Open source code is the power source of the Internet." Linux system is the standard operating system of Internet servers, and an application system such as an open source of the Apache web server and the Sendmail mail management system is an Internet key infrastructure.
2. "The Internet is also the spread of open source." Anderson said that the network has made it easier, test, and distribution of open source software easier. Similarly, it also makes it unusually difficult to sell online-based software-based software, such as Red Hat.
3. "The Internet is also an open source code to be developed platform." As a channel, the programmer can easily know if some software of open source code has application prospects, if there is, he can be registered at any time Join the developer's ranks. If there is no application prospect, the programmer can activate a new development project, and you can fix the project to the open source community. Some far-reaching software ideas may come from a very backward, even the software enthusiasts that are backward to the country that is not connected, this is not surprised.
4. "Open source software will be more secure than other non-open software." When the programmer developed a new software that has not open source code, they will always introduce the detailed description of software use, but often Many people have an attack on the software. Anderson said, "Although network security has not experienced a disaster similar to '911', it is not far from this disaster." Numerous hard drives in future security disasters will be destroyed, and network security disaster will be infinitely enlarge.
5. "The contradictory of the United States promoted the development of open source." Most national commercial software industry has no problem, so they will regard the status of the United States of the United States, the state of business, another cultural monopoly. It is therefore full of hostility. But open source software has the characteristics of globalization in the essence and sources, Anderson said.
6. "Respect for peers is another incentive mechanism for open source." Anderson said, as in the scientific field, the outstanding character will receive the respect for its outstanding performance.
7. "Open source means you will stand on the giant's shoulder." Anderson believes that writing new programs in an open source environment can avoid many unnecessary repetitions, with the continuous development of this group, programmers can The resulting program is also expanded.
8. "The server is always very expensive and there is no open source, but the Intel chip has begun to provide a Linux environment." In the past five years, Intel became the leader of the server platform. Anderson believes that with the increasing popularity of hardware production, one day sales chamber will give up those very expensive servers. And, linux
It is also a bridge that is also a new system for Unix systems and Intel launched. The transfer from UNIX to the window system is facing great challenges.
9. "The embedded device will give full play to the advantages of open source." Any of the future embedded idle will have a chip, an operating system, such as a Wi-Fi connection device. The TIVO recording device is running on the Linux environment.
10. "More and more companies that develop software will not be software companies." Anderson said that most software developers will work in a vertical industry, which means that developers need a wide support. The development platform, developers can not only get support, but also support hardware and software giants such as HP, IBM, Novell, and Red Hats. 11. "More and more companies have begun to support Linux." As the founder of the unopened source code, IBM has now become a large number of people in the group. Many companies that are still developing unopened source software, including Opsware, are looking for a way to run in an open environment. Anderson said that open source code is best suited for databases, operating systems, and other large number of software, and users do not need to make large changes. But for the growing customer software, the open environment is not suitable.
12. "It is free."
