Wrong Free
Linux is Free as in Speech. It may also be Free as in Beer, especially the Linux kernel, but not necessarily so. Distributors may charge for disks or access to downloads for their distributions should they choose to do so as the GPL license allows for that.


Keep in mind that Open Source is freedom to do with it whatever you want. That is the freedom that Open Source gives you and why it is superior to closed source software. It is the main reason why I like Linux and all the Open Source software that comes with so much. I can customize my installation in ways that you can never do with closed source like Windows. You can make changes and you don't even have to share those changes (as long as you don't redistribute your changes).
