How would people feel if companies offerred linux versions
of their commercial software?  I will use linux because
it is free, net supported, etc., but I would prefer to
use my favourite tools too.  And maybe some vendors
might be interested in this as a lower cost option
than NT, OS/2 or Univel.

Networking is the concept of having data, finding it somewhere else and 
thinking that it's a good thing.  A distributed environment just means 
you are less picky about where it ends up before calling the whole 
process a success.  Plumbers call it a leak.
