Deploying Open Source the Easy Way
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, there are pros and cons to using pre-built application stacks. On
| the plus side, you can get up and running quickly. On the minus side, you may
| have less understanding of what you've done than you would have if you built
| everything from scratch. But as a way to lower adoption barriers for open
| source software, they're hard to beat.

to invade it. Here is the latest from Eclipse:

| A prominent example of open source software is the Linux operating system...
| To the extent open source software gains increasing market acceptance, sales
| of our products may decline, we may have to reduce the prices we charge for
| our products, and revenue and operating margins may consequently decline.

Eclipse Community Survey of 2007 Results

| Organizations are using Eclipse for cross-platform development and
| deployment. On average they have 2.1 development platforms and 2.7 deployment
| platforms for software build using Eclipse. Windows is the most popular
| development platform, with 74% of organizations choosing Windows as their
| primary development platform, followed by Linux at 20%. However, for primary
| deployment platforms, Linux is well represented at 37%, compared with 47% on
| Windows. Given that 72% of respondents are creating server software, this may
| reflect the strength of Linux as a server operating system.

| development, Eclipse isn’t moving as fast. It’s not uncommon for applications
