Computerworld | Linux wins the race for sport technology developers: "'The support from the open source community is far more helpful than any paid support program. I have had people like Andrew Tridgell happily spend a couple of hours with me to solve some problems, on another occasion we had a MySQL developer phone us from Finland to discuss our setup. This is pure gold that Microsoft and others just can't compete with,' he said.
Shugg also believes that using open source attracts top quality developers, and people who are in it for the joy of programming.
'This is critical for a cash-strapped startup,' he said.
Shugg said that using Linux is more secure than Windows and it also enables Kinetic to tweak applications in a way that would not be possible if he were to use proprietary software."
