Re: Re: Bigotry ?? [was --> Re: What is Linux ?]

One thought from my end is that often a possibly superior solution even if
opensource/free doesn't receive the prominence it should. case in point bzip2
compression. It's often quite a bit better than zip or gz but it hasn't gained
as much popularity. why's that ? I feel it's cause the user is a lazy bum who
just wants to get his work done and not have to go change all his gifs to pngs
;)
