That linux, *BSD, and anything non microsoft is dead, or dying. How can anyone be supported if everything is given away?
True Red Hat, Mandrake and the others are selling versions of their linux Distro, but, all someone has to do is copy it enough times and since it's legal to do so, or download the free version, they're not getting the money to support themselves and microsoft has the money because they know how to operate a business, and they give money to the people who really need it, not the people that just want a free ride.
MS is not evil, they are just trying to survive, the only reason why/.er love linux is because they can get something for nothing, and like I said, no company can without financial support.
