File talk:Linux OS.png

This image is quite misleading. sshd, PHP, MySQL and Apache do not underlie X.Org, XFCE, Gnome or KDE (which really aren't on the same level anyway). bash doesn't REALLY underlie sshd, PHP etc. either. I like the idea behind it, to show the structure and hierarchy inherent in a Linux system, but it needs to be more accurate before appearing on the page. I hope you can find a way to make it more representative and then have it included again in the Linux page. --John Lunney (talk) 01:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. I've updated image and added it again. Conan (talk) 23:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Please leave here more feedback on the image:


 * Neither GCC, bash or coreutils really belong in a library layer, in my opinion. These could be pulled aside as a separate vertical (call it "common tools"), distinct from the libraries. --Alvestrand (talk) 07:14, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Fixed. Conan (talk) 07:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

This image (and the source at ) are still both wrong, in multiple aspects. First, you must decide what type of diagram are you trying to create. Is it a block diagram, a system context diagram, a technology stack, a Venn diagram... there are many types of diagrams. Second, how many axes does your diagram have, and how elements interact horizontally and vertically. Ok, hardware is on the bottom, but what do you expect to see on the top? The user? Or end-user applications? The vertical relation is "depends on"? "uses"? "works on top of"? Etc... -- Juliano (T) 13:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

LAMP
How is a LAMP server part of Linux operating system? Very few desktop Linux users would run a server on their machine. KSiimson (talk) 20:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
