    Again, please do at the least the bare minimum research when posting

    Well I categorize them as free and pay. Once Linux becomes a paid system, wonder where ppl will turn to next?

    The only "pay" you will see in linux will come from commercial applications
    and technical support. Red hat and Canonical among others make money off of linux because of people willing to pay for 24/7 support.

    A couple of years ago I met a programmer who developed the point of sale system
    for Denny's restaurants, then created an open source version called Floreant. You can download it for free, run it for free, or you could pay to register it and receive remote technical support. Funny thing is if you look at what he did, you'll see there's several companies out with similar porducts that run off
    tablets and phones. The difference is he was ahead of them by several years with this concept.

    I really have no idea what you're talking about. The beauty of open source is that it could never go to a completly paid type system. Red Hat used to be free, then they went paid, but Fedora is their free version now which is basically the development for future Red Hat releases.

    Yep. And my understanding is that what you're paying for with Red Hat is the enterprise support, not necessarily the software itself.

    Also, my understanding is that Fedora is their free desktop version. There's also CentOS, which is basically a free community-supported Red Hat clone for servers.

    If you're posting something that is supposedly factual, sometimes it can help to post a link to an article or something along with it, rather than just say "Go Google it". Sometimes I've tried to Google some of the stuff you've been posting and sometimes I've found nothing supporting what you're talking about.

    Yeah, Fedora is their free version which some updates get incorperated to the next Red Hat update. I run CentOS on nearly all servers I have.

    In the case of Red Hat, you're paying for a service contract and possibly some
    proprietary applications or other intellectual property they own and make money from it.

    Yeah, I'm aware of RedHat's commercial structure, I was trying to be basic in my examples for the op. I was using RedHat well before they moved commercial, then used Fedora, and have branched out from there trying many different *nix OS's.

    Red Hat was one of my main distros in the early days, because I ran software that was setup on the assumption of a Red Hat environment. I did try Fedora, but found the rapid release/retirement cycle not suited to my relatively long lived systems. Fedora itself was solid. So, I switchd to CentOS until around 8-10 years ago, when more software assumed a Debian style distro (often Ubuntu). I've sence settled on Debian or Raspian for server applications and Mint with Cinnamon for desktop.

I've sence settled on Debian or Raspian for server applications and Mint with Cinnamon for desktop.

    Back in the late 90's the ISP I worked at used Solaris and Red Hat. Learning on slackware, Red Hat was a breeze, Solaris wasn't that difficult to figure out either. I did have the opportunity to play around with AIX and I can say, without a doubt that I couldn't stand it. After 2005 or 2006 when I started my own business it just made sense to use CentOS for our servers then, and use it still for that purpose. Desktop use, I've been running Linux Mint for years and have another that I don't use often with Ubuntu on it as well as another that I use on the weekends for Karaoke (singer singups) running a USB Boot version of Lubuntu on an old laptop. Aside from those, I could go off listing all the different ones I've tried but it would make this a rather lengthy message although I did have a lot of fun with BSD for a while as well.

    And since this is Synchronet Discussion, I will say CentOS7 was a bit of a chore to get Synchronet and dosemu to work properly since there's no dosemu package in the 7 repository. Looking back, I'm sure one of the initial versions of dosemu I used I could have gotten to work, but ended up compiling 1.4.0.8.

    If you're posting something that is supposedly factual, sometimes it can help to post a link to an article or something along with it, rather than just say "Go Google it". Sometimes I've tried to Google some of the stuff you've been posting and sometimes I've found nothing supporting what you're talking about.

    maybe 4chan?

    I just found out from reading that there are two kinds of Linux out there:

    Linux Paid OS/Apps
    Linux Free OS/Apps

    Are you talking about things like Redhat Enterprise vs CentOS? RHEL has proprietary software that's useful for enterprise environments. CentOS just takes RHEL and strips all that out of it.

    It's according to our unit of measure. If we use Carl Lewis to measure how
    fast I am...you're right. On the other hand...if we used what I call the "tripping" measurement...I would be faster. ;)

    My reflexes are incredibly fast too, so even that attempt may backfire. :) But unless you can manage 200 metres in under 27 seconds, I think I have a pretty good chance. :D
