In my boredom I ram accross this paragraph from a prominent Linux publication by an even more prominent journalist. I throw this out for general consumption and comment as a work unto itself without the surrounding verbage. That being said; "I moved to Costa Rica over a year ago. On my one-year anniversary I was thinking about how things have been different. Aside from the more obvious -- things like I really need to be working on my Spanish -- the biggest difference I have seen is that people are more open to solutions. There is less disposable money here than there is in the US and less anti-Linux FUD. Thus it is easier here to listen to someone's problem, propose a Linux=based solution and have them accept it than in the US. It is easier to think Linus was right about World Domination -- except that the US might be the last country to get Linux." How profound! <sidebar> Given the recent discussion here about OSS drivers I figured that this would fit. I didn't realize when I purchased my nVidia card that the drivers weren't open source. A situation quickly pointed out to me by Steven. I played devils advocate in that discussion and probably not too well. My purchase was based solely on cost and nothing else. Had I known that the drivers were not OSS I would have probably moved on. Oh well! Oh yeah! I get it. Steve RLLNW/PRS
