Linux is a tremendous achievement, but the Internet and the WWW are the greatest OSS success stories to date.Much of the role of open source in the development of the Internet is well known: The most widely used TCP/IP protocol implementation was developed as part of Berkeley networking; Bind runs the DNS, without which none of the web sites we depend on would be reachable; sendmail is the heart of the Internet e-mail backbone; Apache is the dominant web server; Perl the dominant language for creating dynamic sites, etc. etc.we Love open source is a great website for software developers<a href="http://www.osluv.com/" target="_blank">http://www.osluv.com/</a></blockquote>
