Paid or free?

Please participate in the poll to find out to which degree linux users pay for a distro.

Where's the option for "All of the above", or maybe
check boxes instead of Radio-buttons?

Cheers,
Tink

In that case, please use your favorite distro

Yep, I think check boxes would have been better. Can't you modify the poll since you are a mod?

No, since it's in Linux-General and I only mod Newbie.

Still wouldn't make sense, because it doesn't cover upgrades;
I might have bought slack 8.1 and downloaded later ISOs for
free.
Check-boxes are the way to go.

I pay for a Mandriva Club membership, but have also purchased Suse, Redhat, CentOS and other distros in the past and have downloaded a lot of free ones. Having an option to choose both would have been a lot better for your poll. You could ask the mods for this forum to amend your poll.

In your case you should vote 'Paid' as it shows you have been willing to pay.

Free, although the CD cost a couple of cents

I selected "pay", but my arguement was that it would have been better for your stats if you had put a check box or an option for both.

Sure, the outcome would look different. Thanks.

The outcome would be closer to reality. You are
FORCING a different result-set.

I selected "Free", as I downloaded Slackware for free, but have bought the commercial CD package to show my support for the project.

muddlnx · 10-26-2005, 10:38 PM

same as vgui, i download iso's as soon as they are available, but i like have an official copy, and support the slackware team.

I updated the poll and included other options as well..

And only Jeremy can revert the options to check boxes once it's created.
