>Linux works properly and it is free.
Linux is not free at all, or i don't know what's free mean.
At RedHat web site, personnal edition is 30$, Deluxe is 80$ and pro is 180$
If you say that we can download it, you are almost right about the free, but
here why isn't free.
How many $ did you pay for internet by month.
How many hours you have download Linux.
Make some math, and you see that the result isn't 0$.
And if you get the ISO file, it's worst than anything else, how many $ did
your CD-Burner cost?
How many CD were scrap while testing if the burner ( and app. ) work OK.
How many time did you lost by downloading & burning the OS.
So, i think isn't free at all.
You say it's free cause you may get it without any charge, you can change it
/ give it / make copy of it etc...
BTW, windows is not as good as Linux, i know that and it's going to be this
way a long time. I dislike windows, isn't the kind of OS i like, but i can't
put Linux on my computer, cause i'm the only one here at home who know how
computer work, and windows is enough hard for them. If i have Linux on my
system, i'll have to be by their side everytime.
Some games are not ported on Linux, Tomb Raider, Sims, FF7, Viper Racing,
Commandos, and the list is very long.
Some companies should start develop games over Linux.
