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".

Yea, my guess is NetBSD outdoes it...


It doesn't apparently by most counts, but Linux is only a kernel, NetBSD is a full operating system. This means that you can build the same userland for all supported platforms. Or even better, you can cross-compile NetBSD on one platform for virtually all platforms. And cross-compiling is initiated by just one build.sh command.
