What I want is a conference that doesn't cost a fortune to get to, stay at, attend, or even exhibit at. The prices have gone up up up. Some of these (now wealthy) sponsors *could* help pay (more of) the show's costs - then the shows could be run as non-profit (yeah, right). For me, the ideal show would be held in Kansas City, Missouri, cost $25 a day for the conference, $100 per full-day tutorial, 10x10 exhibitor's booth space would be $1000, and oh yeah, would feature keynotes by Linus Torvalds and "Maddog" Hall. I guarantee any size hall would be packed!
Even if Linux cost twice as much as Windows and if Linus and Bob Young had more money than Bill Gates, Linux is *still* better than Windows. It's not about money. It's about quality. If quality starts suffering, Linux will fork or something better will replace it.
Why, I guess YOU do! You have the opportunity to exclude Linux articles from what you see at /. And if you HAVE, you still must care some, else you could just pass over articles like this one. rah.. rah.. sssss goomba
I want more games on Linux, which would be cool even if it weren't free!

Why couldn't they offer 7 million :-)
67.6 million wouldn't have given
anyone an opportunity to find anything
wrong with it
