[CS-FSLUG] Re: Linux: Fewer Bugs Than Rivals

[James W. Thompson, II]

The issue I would think with the quality of FOSS over proprietary is
that FOSS developers know their work will be publicly viewable and
since status in the FOSS community has long been built on reputation
and skill, someone wouldn't want to get known for writing bug-ridden
or sloppy code.
