They mean open source code when they say "free". Actually, it is more accurate to call Linux "open-source" than to call it "free". There are companies that put Linux on CD with manuals, and then sell it. Red Hat Linux, which is maybe the most popular distribution, can be bought, and then it comes with manuals and customer support. But you can also download it, including the latest version, for free and install it if you know how to do it. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">UNIX/LINUX is better in the way that you get more direct communication with your hardware than windows and icon-clicking windows.
