There is a verse in the Bible, "arrogance comes before the fall." I personally hope that by in large, Linux users will show themselves to more than a bunch of "hackers' or "save-the-whale" types I hope not! Call me a dreamer, but I think that linux is what it is (free, and working, and stable) mainly because of this 'hacker' and 'whale saver' attitude of its supporters... And it wouldn't be a bad thing if all

Hi, the PC world would stick to this attitudes, at least because they make us put the heart in what we do, programming, translating docs, or just using Linux and reporting the bugs for further improvements... Do you think a guy without a 'hacker' mind would program a FREE environment, without the perspective of gaining something from it? Or that a guy without a 'whale saving' tendence could bear all the disinformation campaigns that the major companies have lead in the past?
