Is linux free 4999
Go to the websites of Redhat, Mandriva or mandrake, Suse, Mepis, etc. See the $ rates quoted. the free ones are the bug riddled test versions. I have seen fedora to be slow and in some cases, crashing.
Fine, I dont want the free CDs mailed to me, but what about ISO downloads. No ISOs are available for download. If it were allowed to redistribute freely (GNU says that apart from free software, you should have the freedom to redistribute ), there would be download servers out there who would allow you to download linux. I did not find any. Only debian happens to be free, but that again is way behind. If I am allowed to redistribute after buying linux, I might set set up a download site myself. Why is nobody doing it.

Linux content, just the kernel you mean. Just the OS , without all the utilities. Is it. What is it good for then. Will anyone bother to download hundreds of programs and utilities. Many people do not have access to Internet.
The websites I mentioned above. I tried Ubuntu and Debian, it left me unimpressed. Ok, you cannot have quality without paying for it, you might say. Then , better we stop using, reporting bugs and testing code for redhat , suse and mandrake; let them spend money they earn by selling public open source code.
