IF 1998 AND 1999 WERE THE WORST YEARS in Microsoft's history, 1991, by contrast, must have been a period when Bill Gates was feeling good.

The open source movement troubles big industry giants like Microsoft because good programming in GNU / Linux software code is made even better by sharing and distributing its source freely for improvement, mostly without financial profit to the industry and without waiting on "upgraded versions" from the originator.

Excerpts
added anonymously.
"In 1995, Gaël Duval, a 22-year old Frenchman from Caen, Normandy, who was studying computer science, was looking for a Unix to put on his 386 PC - a familiar enough story. (...) Following the numbering of the Red Hat version it was based on, Duval called his distribution Linux-Mandrake 5.1. In July 1998, Duval placed this on an FTP server for others to download, as Linus has done with his original Linux code. Just as Linus had been encouraged by the feedback he received to his early kernel, so Duvalwas spurred on by the response to his home-brew distribution. It was 'incredible' he says'"

added by Peter Hollow.
Pages 308 to 310 are focusing on Mandrake-Linux and Mandrakesoft, which has been a fascinating story of Linux and Open Source pioneering.
