呵呵, 我的感觉, Linux一定要商业化才有前途 :-)) kernel可以
是free的, GNU Software也可以free, 但是将其合成distribution做为
完整的OS推出一定要是commercial的, 只有这样企业才能认真考虑
将Linux用在企业IT中, 而不是一个由许多hackers/fans自己敲补的
Toy OS :-)) 一句话, 真正在IT Manager位置上的人早就已经没有心情
"玩" OS了, 这就是象NT Server这样的idiot OS能够大行其道的原因,
Linux假如能够commercial, 才能获得真正多的ISV的支持,  不然大家都
没有钱赚, 谈何发展? Free Software的理想我觉得就象共产主义一样 :-)))
