Bryan,

Of all the people that should 'check the facts', I'd believe it would be
you!?

Facts:

1)  They've given the ISO's away to the OS many, many times.
2)  It's based on Debian, so updating is as easy as apt-get
3)  StarOffice 7 for $30 instead of $$$
4)  Lsongs - free to the linux community
5)  Lphoto - free to the linux community
6)  Nvu - free to the linux/windows/world community
7)  The audio/visual beginning tutorials are well worth any money for
those just starting in any type of computer OS

Your email sounded like Robertson has taken more than he's given to the
Linux community - just think you should check the facts.
