Yes, please forgive me for being so direct, but, in my opinion, paying $25 to $40 dollars for a 4-6 CD distribution of a powerful operating system with tons of applications is an incredible bargain.
Ergo, a nice meal at a moderate place to eat costs more than that! You can eat and a few hours later, you need to eat again and forget about the past meal!
Linux-based, BSD-based and other software distributions are an incredible bargain in todays world.
And, if you are from a country where $35 is an entire weeks or months salary, don't hesitate to download without a contribution!
The point is that everyone can have access to incredible software and those who can afford to contribute, should contribute.
Friends help friends...... help has many faces and names.
