LOL. I knew I was going to catch flack for that statement. From a Linux guy of course. I didn’t say I won’t have anything to do with open source software. Just that it makes me nervous. I do download open source software from time to time. I approach things with caution. Its one thing to go to a website and another to download an executable file(that can mess with your registry for one) from a source you are unfamiliar with. Have good anti virus, malware, and firewall software. But thanks for the concern.
I can agree wholeheartedly with that--but that caution also applies to closed-source software. Especially so, since you cannot (if you so happen to want to) examine the code to be sure of what it is doing.
Using that caution, though, to paint such a broad stripe on FLOSS, is erroneous. That is what brought my criticism, not necessarily the avoidance of FLOSS.
