What I love is that this whole point is still being argued, even when
staring everyone
straight in the face is GNU/Linux. I would have been sceptical 10
years ago when
this whole was still in its infancy. But look GNU/Linux is
magnificence created by
people for the people and it will always carry on this way.

And not to mention Apache which houses a huge percentage of the worlds websites
and Google which people sometime forget is all run on Linux.

Free software not working, hang on its already worked !
