it's about both. if i roll out 20 debian workstations in a company rather than 20 win2k boxes, i save a shitload of money. put it this way: freedom and free beer... which one do you think is the selling factor? yes, free beer. now do you have to pay for debian? no! i know that one *can* pay for it, but one doesn't have to. that's the reasoning. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "if beethoven's seventh symphony is not by some means abridged, it will soon fall into disuse." -- philip hale, boston music critic, 1837
