Thanks to the one on why Linux isn't commercially viable. It's generally FUD (fear, uncertainty and disinformation). It is commercially viable. Just ask Red Hat, whom rocked up USD$600 million last year. Or Sun. IBM and HP even. Linus is the man behind the kernel, but he's got heaps of "lieutenants" - alan cox, marcelo, and now andrew morton.

So really, its not a one man show. And it's commercially viable.
