http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site<p>Clearly LinuxExchange is related to StackOverflow, as they use the same interface. Some questions:</p> <ul> <li><p>Are they run by the same people? </p></li> <li><p>Will I be able to copy over my profile from the other SO sites? </p></li> <li><p>If they aren't related, is the code that runs the site available for anyone to set up a site that functions the same way on a different topic?</p></li> </ul> <p>Thanks much,</p> <p>--jed</p>enThu, 14 Apr 2011 10:06:43 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site/2345<p>As an update, LinuxExchange is now running on OSQA.

(a for the most part worthless paysite that always comes up in Google)</p>3vix_6Mon, 03 May 2010 20:39:34 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site/199http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site/101<p>and against most of what I believe in, stackexchange is not opensource. If your stackexchange site does not generate enough of hits it will be terminated. I appreciate a lifecycle but not one that does not give sites a chance. I wish we could find out when the end date for this site is scheduled.</p>georgeMon, 19 Apr 2010 12:57:51 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site/101http://linuxexchange.org/questions/96/is-linuxexchange-another-stackoverflow-site/97<p>LinuxExchange uses the same software as StackOverflow but is not under the same ownership. The creators of StackOverflow developed the StackExchange which is a "software-as-a-service" that allows others to create sites like this one using the StackExchange engine.
