Nothing personal. Read my original request for mobos. It was a request to those who *had* clients and regularly installed linux workstations for them. If you do not fall in that category, why feel upset.
Go read your *original* request. It does not asks inputs only from "those who *had* clients and regularly installed linux workstations for them." So I guess I am justified in feeling upset. I had
already thanked everyone for giving information on self-owned mobos.
I would highly appreciate if you can guide me to this mail thanking everyone.
I expect an apology from you. Again it does not apply to you.
I feel it does apply to me and still expect an apology from you. I personally feel that FOSS or GNU or GPL whatever you call it, will not
survive in the retail sector.
FOSS not only survives but is in top few slots in many categories. Probably you mean FOSS cannot make obscene money in retail sector. I hope you see the difference.
The whole issue is about giving the foss retail programmer his commercial due for writing the retail foss code that benefits all of us. It started with a comment on how a foss creator will make money.
If you are good enough to write a CAD software on your own, I am sure many companies will hire you to write FOSS software. I am yet to come across a good FOSS programmer who is commercially not successful. But on second thought probably you are right. Making obscene money is not the sole primary motive for many Free Software developers. It is all about building a better society as I understand it. Be careful, people supporting Open Source might not have this view. So if you are motivated only by money and do not know how to do it with FOSS then asking around how to do it will be of little help. PS: Don't forget to read your original request and do show me the thanking mail -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
