The Open Source development model lacks in a very important area: TESTING
The phrase "open source" is primarily
a legal matter; it says something about
the licensing of a piece of software. It
does NOT imply a development model.

Of course, much open source software
is developed under a model of distributed
effort by programmers not being paid
for the work. But it is a very unreasonable
calumny to imply that all open source
software suffers from  lack of testing!
Many projects take testing extremely
seriously.

Knoppix is an incredibly hard thing
to test, comprising as it does an entire
Linux distribution built from many
applications. Klaus does not
deserve the disapprobation....
