Skinny is speedy thanks to OSS

| Open source has been perfect for SkinnyCorp because of its low
| cost and flexibility. "It's the ability to grow and try new
| things with the speed of our personal growth," Reed says. "I
| think if we were to use Solaris or Windows, we couldn't grow
| at the same speed. If we decide we want to try some crazy MySQL
| trick, we can look online and see a bunch of people who've done
| it. Or we can contribute a patch. We're in control. Now, Linux
| isn't taking us out for lunches -- that's kind of annoying. But
| we're able to say, 'This is software we've written that we want
| to give back to you guys.'"
