| Loud_Hot_White_Box said: It would be taking conservatism pretty far to object to the fact that there is no creator who is continually getting paid for each copy of Linux (which in turn is what makes Linux cheaper for governments to use). As you point out, there are still corporations selling copies of Linux. I wonder whether that matters. Can't folks get ubuntu and certain other versions for free? Don't conservatives want to decrease the cost of government? Or wait, is it really that they always want to make sure money is being funneled into the hands of capitalists, even if the government has to facilitate the funneling? Anyway, the executive agencies are going to be cleansed of some of the more ideological and negligent types from the last few years... Wait.... Red Ring of Death? |
In the open source model that Red Hat and Novell use, you get the software for free and they provide support documentation and live phone support at a price - Around $350 a year for RHEL for servers and $80/year for desktops.
