I understand why the commit the code, and as a linux zealot myself for more than 4.5 years, I appreciate it!:) But I think we (the linux community) would gain more credibility and more, or better, support (for hardware, etc) if we did pay for it, rather than keep demanding everything for free.
I find it ridiculous that the loudest linux/open source zealots in here refuse to pay to support it. Open source programmers deserve to be paid too. Put your money where your mouth is. And yes, for the record, I've paid for every version of RH since 6.x, and I even paid for Debian once.:)
Let the flames begin.
