Not to disagree that your personal experience is what it is, but I'm an
existence proof that it is hardly universal - maybe you see what you
see because you hang out with Linuxheads?

I don't run software - including operating systems - that I don't have
source to.  (The closest thing to an exception is my gf's iMac, which
runs Tiger.  I don't count that as one of my own machines; if it were
it would be running something else.)

But I have no use for Linux.  None of my own machines run it.  I have
some experience with it - three of the machines I work with regularly
at work use it - and all that experience confirms my distaste for it.
I can't think of any respect in which I like Linux more than I like the
other open-source Unices I've tried.

Quite poassibly because I don't hang out much with Linux geeks, I see
almost none of the "!Linux -> !open-source" implication you do in the
people I know.
