[Cialug] Ubuntu question

It may prove otherwise, but I really think it is Mark shuttleworth's
philanthropic effort.  Some people leave museums, others leave college
buildings, he is going to leave an open-source operating system 2nd to none.

It has to almost be RMS's wet dream.  Open source software put together by
people who *really* care and get paid to do it.

Everybody should be so lucky to have a billionaire astronaut funding them
just because he can.

I read somewhere that Bill Gates could probably afford to feed the whole
world for a year.  I wonder if anyone will remember him fondly.

cialug,

Does anyone know anything about Ubuntu's business model?  If so could you 
please explain it to me.

Thanks,
Steve
