OSNews, Generic OSes At the heart of every networking device is an operating system that enables traffic flow. In the case of networking vendor Juniper, that operating system for the past ten years has been JUNOS, a network operating system with its roots in the open source FreeBSD operating system. Juniper has updated JUNOS every 90 days since 1998.

Why can't people just accept that some times, and maybe even most of them time open source is the best solution, but it is not the only solution to every problem.


Because...

The solution to the problem is the code itself. It being open or not doesn't have any intrinsic properties that preclude it from solving any problem that is solvable with a Turing Machine.
