1.1.2 Linux Support
Linux installations can be time-consuming and each requires someone skillful in OS programming.
Distributors of Linux (like Red Hat Software of Research Triangle Park, NC) have created
documentation, service, and support facilities for users who want to install Linux. The kernel and
source code are still freely licensed, but the client pays for the convenience of installing the software as
a package from a CD-ROM. Other services are also available for a fee.
