Well, then use the other distros. Simple. You have a choice.
I've always used a demo account, no problem, except I wget off Aarnet to
the up2date directory and then run the up2date.

You get what you pay for. Simple.
If it is worth it to you, then pay for it.
This is really borderline (I'm about to call you an cheap bastard)
stuff. If you want a service, then be prepared to pay for, otherwise
stop complaining.
It sounds just like the requests for quotes I continually used to get
from local companies and silly mangoes[1] for support services where
they wanted to pay me $15/hr for instantly running to their office to
fix up their MS based machine.
