I've been very happy with the commercial Linux CD-ROM vendors linux Red Hat.
From Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
In many cases, the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
People enjoy the interaction on the Internet, and the feeling of belonging to a group that does something interesting: that's how some software projects are born.
Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software.
The cyberspace earnings I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me, and that I can depend on in return.
