Linux Myths 'n' Maths
>> ". . . people can use linux to deploy heavy duty distributed applications AND save so much money?"

A very good point! Obviously someone is ginning the figures to make it look good. Maybe that Torvalds guy is pumping money from his personal Linux fortunes into Amazon, IBM, Sun, etc. just to fool people into downloading Linux so he can pocket a healthy percentage of what they pay for it. (I hear Linus gets as much as half the profits on every free download).

Or maybe it's (gulp) for real!
