I guess the closest I have come to purchasing software for use in linux
is some books; english code to teach me the computer's code, roughly
speaking (they're reference, actually).  Some of these come with bundled
CD's of reference material too; but I did manage to snag some great swag
at the Country Fair -- the Linux Journal's '94-2000 archive CD  ( =
Me like!

Crossover might be one that I go for, though... and in reference to
Wine, I'd like to remind interested folks to compile from CVS, I believe
there is free DirectX support in the tree (but not free releases).

One last bit:  I agree that commercial solutions should *not* be
overlooked, especially for those who can afford them(!) -- however,
there is often a cheaper solution, and often times Good Things come
from Free Software (on a deep societal level); however I am disturbed to
see GPL poison many good business opportunities, although I suppose
they'll adapt (or die) eventually.

regards,
