No, you offended me by calling me a "homie". Firstly, I'm not American, secondly, my socio-economic upbringing is far from the 'homie' shit. As to Ubuntu being Linux for human beings, wah? Since when aren't other Linux distributions for human beings? Please do explain. And business makes the world go around. As much as I dislike money, we're stuck with it.

Sure. And if Mark really cares about Linux, and open source, would he kindly donate money to other non profit Linux distributions, so that they too can have a chance? I don't think so. This is Mark's personal grab at power. Nothing more, and nothing less. I trust him about as much as I trust a fox in a heshian bag full of chickens.

Ahh, I just love this comment. Yes, sure, we do. Tell me, what religion are you? I ask this, because it's something that's relevant to my argument that I wish to present. Let me make the presumption that you are Catholic. Now, the Roman Catholic church, is filthy rich. In fact, it hoards enough money to make sure that no one who's poor, will ever live poor again. My question is, why are they hoarding the money, instead of actually helping people with it? Think about that for a little while.

For homework, re-read the GPL. Free has two definitions. You get a F-.

No, you just want free, as in beer. And anyone else, that disagrees with your [lame] argument(s) is suddenly wrong. Commercial systems are part of modern society, whether we like it or not. Tell me, who pays for Tal's dinner? Do you work? If so, do you get paid for that work. Tell you what, let's say, that, for the better of society, no one gets paid anymore. There goes your paypacket. Happy now? Of course, those that are filthy rich, don't need money anymore, since they've successfully hoarded it. They have money to draw on, you'd have nothing. See who'd last longer.

Member since:You may entertain yourself trolling here but time is the true test, and in due time we'll see just how popular and long lasting commercial Linux distributions vs. free are.
Then you can join the ranks of old bitter men who sit around griping like many do now about such silly things like how the commodore is far superior to the IBM-PC.
Time is precious, how much of it are you willing to waste bickering? If that's how you value your time, great, have fun.

Linux for human beings, free.
Human beings PAY for too many things in this world already, thankfully Ubuntu is one completely free thing they can have and hold, for rich or for poor, without concern.
I love Ubuntu and the free philosophy it has, and I love Ubuntu's like minded community.
People who bash others and defend any commercial system over free don't have my respect.
