And what do you define as Non-Linux and why can't Non-free softwares be discussed. Then that also excludes Solaris / Mac OS X / BSD / FreeBSD. Don't you want to get paid when you write a software? Not everyone is a software administrator. There are guys who have to write code for a living. And if that software does not have much of a service that can be provided, then it has to be sold as a product commercially. And I am not against Microsoft because their software is not good, I am against certain policies of theirs, like sending my information without my knowledge etc., but just because they sell their software doesn't make them evil. And probably you don't know why there are so many developers working on Linux Kernel / GCC / GDB etc. Most of them are paid, not because their companies are commited to Open source, but because they have very little choice, though no company admits it. BTW, if you say Linux is good, then how do you define "Good", good is a qualitative term, and it has to be relative to something that is bad. So, how do you call something "Good" unless you don't discuss the "Bad" constructively? Think about it ... > -Tarun Dua Venky _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
