Linux "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".

From the article:

"# Who's funding Linxu kernel development ?

1. Amateurs 18.5%
2. Red Hat 11.6%..."

He says "funding" suggesting financial, not code, conributions. Or is he equating the two? In either case, it remains surprising that amateurs outrank all others.
