Linux Is this some sort of prank 16862

Should I? Bollocks. MS doesn't offer half the value for money that Linux does.

And lots of others no doubt try it and decide that not only does it not suck, it's better than Windows.

Well, I don't, and I doubt very much if anyone else but your fellow wintroll friends think you're funny either. Your 'banter' is tedious and condescending claptrap. Like most of what you say. You talk, but you don't say anything, just waffle.

Where have you proved that? One example hardly consbreastutes all - and even this supplier gave money to the FreeBSDers.

You can't have it both ways. You're always telling us money can't be made by selling Linux, yet here you are griping because a vendor makes some money from selling Linux. If it's potentially millions, I say Bring it on! The developers want they product to be used, the more the merrier.

What the hell do *you* care about the spirit of the movement, or understand it? You always denigrated it before, and now because it suits your argument you're suddenly in favour of it? I smell a rat.

You do not know how many of the vendors who supply Linux CDs at low cost contribute to the community. What a buyer is paying for is the packaging and convenience, in effect, he pays nothing at all for the software itself.
