I run a Linux box, for various reasons.

My choice distro is Linux Mandrake though, right now.

I tried RedHat and didn't care for it too much. Not as friendly as Mandrake. Mandrake reminds me of my old Mac computer, which was very stable and easy to use.

>>and I saw it there in a box and thought of buying it<<

I really have no idea how these Linux companies plan to make a profit unless they are selling full, turn-key services and apps to companies. And even at that, you still have a couple more years before people are going to consider dumping MS stuff for Linux equipment. Just not 'standard' enough yet, except amoung underground users. They sure won't make it off the end-users/normal consumers. You can download any Linux distro for free -- it's required as part of the GNU. Open source.

I do like Linux though. Takes a while to learn, but I find it to be rock solid and very secure.
