Rep Power: 1 | I just wanted to say google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux&cts=1258726481035&aq=f&oq=&aq i=g10 and you ll get more than what you asked for but the response from a forum member prompted me to clarify little bit more. When using the term free software - they specifically point out the freedom/liberty that comes along with FLOSS (Free, libre open source software ) let alone the price(Its little bit philosophical in nature) for general public anything that starts with free is always welcome because it's the price that matters to them. for some interesting links gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html In short it's all upto you to like it or dislike it. there are so many distros available indiabroadband.net/linux/9664-best-distribution-youve-ever-tried.html |

| Linux is a true 32-bit operating system that runs on a variety of different platforms, including Intel, Sparc, Alpha, and Power-PC (on some of these platforms, such as Alpha, Linux is actually 64-bit). |
