See it this way, our mother is the Linux kernel, but she likes many men, so we (her children) have different fathers (don't get me wrong it is just a metaphor; perhaps a bad one, but it is the way I see it ), but when it's mother's day we all give her presents no matter wich father we have; it's the same with the distro's we have to support Linux (our mom) no matter wich father (distro) we came from.
I'm not a nerd; I'm still afraid to re-compile my kernel and to do advance stuff; I consider my self, as many others would agree, as a "well informed user".Originally Posted by demon666_nl
I've red the article and found interesting from a econometric and mathematical point of view (I want to read the full paper); but my guess is that those guys did their best but missed some important stuff about Linux, cus they don't know the way our community works, they haven't seen the forums, and use it as much they have done with Windows, so they know all the advantages of windows, but they don't see all the advantages of Linux.
I totally agree with you; although we have some support from they, NVIDIA could be the best example, they are supporting Linux big time; at least more than the average manufacturer.Originally Posted by demon666_nl
My guess is that Gates realized it before we did, he let us copy his software and say nothing, he still does; even when they say they want to finnish piracy. There are more ways to secure a software than just a cd-key, and with all their money if they wanted to invest in R&D to find a way to secure their software they would have done it by now. An other fact, the cd-keys for XP came out before XP was in the stores to buy it, where did those keys came from?.Originally Posted by Spoofhound
