I concur with Jon.

The Linux community survives on the goodwill of many people.
Its much easier for people to criticise / nitpick than to say thanks.

As per ESR's The Cathedral and the Bazaar ( http://tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ ), most open source hackers get rewarded by non-financial means, esp with satisfaction from/amongst their peers.

Personal experience in walking down a street, mall, etc and genuinely saying thank you to someone who would appreciate it... gives both sides a good feeling.

How about trying it. A little "thank you" to those who help everyone along each day cannot be that hard heh ;o)

Cheers
