Who, me?  Endless -- at least so far.  Pointless?  I don't think so.  I really
have only one point about the big commercial OS.  I don't get the source with
the OS, and I consider this a threat to my freedom.  (I consider it a threat
to my freedom when you don't get the OS source too.)

I get the source with Linux therefore Linux is good.  Linux isn't trying to
suppress me, turn me into an ignorant fool, and milk me.
