Hmmm, well, I have to say that I do not agree.
I have used mainframes in the past, but only as a student at Uni and for a
short while in my working career. For the last 18 years or so, I have used
Minis etc, like Prime, DEC VAX, etc.
In addition, I have used UNIX since about 1985, and Linux for perhaps about
6 years. I have also used GNU tools for a long time, and built GCC years
ago etc.
I also am a Free Software contributor, having contributed patches back to
Sendmail years ago, and more recently being involved in Samba and Ethereal.
I do not know the answers to those questions, and frankly, do not care.
