Except for Devdas who is not a follower of GNU, no other supporter of 'freedom' , 'open source', 'gnu' and 'gpl' gave any details of the motherboards they used for their clients. When it comes to some else's fruits of labour, its freedom and open source but when it comes to opening the source code of their own fruits of labour, they clam up. Then you get a lot of advice but not the actual information you are looking for.
I strongly object to the above para Rony. Me and many others have given you our hardware info running Linux. I do not have any "clients" and probably for others it is the same. So we offered you all the info available with us without holding back anything. You might be looking for very specific information from other business owners. But then do not blame all the "supporter of 'freedom' , 'open source', 'gnu' and 'gpl'" I expect an apology from you. Thats why I had asked that question and I ask again....
How many freedom fighters on this list actually own commercial software companies and how many of these software companies are making non-customized software that can be used by everyone *and* , are the source codes of these non-customized softwares available to everyone on the internet under the gpl?
There are millions out there who think closed source is the only successful business model. How many of them actually own commercial software companies?? I don't understand the point you are making. How about starting your own software company and writing a closed source Auto-CAD software which would be a successful market leader. Sirf khayaali khichdi pakaana chhod do Rony. The bottom line as jtd pointed out in other thread is, being successful in business takes more than just opening or closing your code. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
