Free comes at a cost.

Any professional out there who provides a service is entitled to be paid for their works. In the working world and world of business, you pay before you try a product and usually after the service is complete. If you cannot understand this concept and are looking for other weak distributions, then by all means, fill your pockets will all the "free" distros. When you put your money into something, you are encouraging the participant to continue with their work instead of terminating yet another distro which then becomes one of your 4 to 5 distros you use "frequently". If you had a great distro, you probably wouldn't be using as many. This is also the reason why games for linux have not become commercially available. Who wants to write a game for linux at no cost? Who wants to provide a service or product at no cost? Whether the man is working or not is unimportant because apparently he is "working". What's his time worth to you? Or are you just another user looking for a "free ride". The best things in life come at a cost. Don't expect much help from something you can't compensate for time.
