Is open source software reliable?
Open source code was written to be read, since it is publically viewable. An open source code policy permits very fast big fixes, while proprietary source code updates usually have a much higher turn-around time. Free distribution ensures the high quality of the software; there is no temptation for a vendor to release an early buggy version in order to achieve a few short-term sales. As experienced network designers and system architects, eRacks recommends only well-tested software. We know by experience and ongoing research which OSes, packages, and applications work best for a particular purpose, which ones work together, and which ones don’t. For more about open source software, see the Open Source Initiative corporation’s website.
