"Linux kernel hacker Greg Kroah Hartman's June 5, 2008 talk at Google titled "The Linux Kernel" was chock-full of details about kernel development". This is a collection of some statistics about the Linux kernel development from that talk. Juicy Bit:"Supports more processors and devices than any other OS in history".

Actually, no. In the OLS keynote address, Greg Korah-Hartman of Novell made the claim that Linux has surpassed NetBSD in its support for hardware. (http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html)
Great slideshow thanks.

Still, I have to admire the NetBSD guys for creating a kernel that's been ported to as much hardware as it has, and with 1/1000th (plus or minus my imagination) of the developers as Linux. Plus, I love their slogan: "Of course it runs NetBSD." Apt.
Edit: Whoops. That would be the same person making the same claim at an early presentation he's given.
