I'm a thirteen year linux user. From SuSE, to slackware, to gentoo for ten years - and then to debian on my laptop. I use it for my FTP server, I use it for my personal laptop, and until now, as a video editing/capture platform.

I love free software, but one thing I don't love is fanboyism. I do not like when people put their priorities over mine, and tell me what it is I should prioritize. One should respect the priorities of others.

It is often said there are two types of freedom when it comes to software- free as in free beer, and free as in free speech. I would like to introduce a third freedom which is rarely discussed among free software zealots - free as in free time.

If a closed source solution guves me more of this treasured, limited resource, and allows me to spend more of it where it really matters - is it really taking away from my freedom?
