   And another thing; which was brought up in the useful article I ref'd by   
   Jesse Smith.   
      
   *This* group about freeware for Win, in a sense is about a 'field' just   
   the opposite of what you would do w/ linux.   
      
   This field is all about the gazillions of freeware dev/d for Windows.   
      
   While linux has /worlds/ of 'freeware' available from its repo/s, it is   
   not 'common practice' for linux users to just go stomping around out   
   there in the wild to find some freelance s/w dev's product of freeware.   
      
   As JS said in the article:

   It is 'unusual' that I step outside my distro's repositories, and when I   
   do it is in a specific direction, not 'the wild'.   
      
   Whatever it is that you do related to 'freeware' as described /here/ you   
   will need to keep doing w/ Win, not linux.
