A small thing that Linux people will have to adjust to: as Linux 
desktops start being used as Windows alternatives by non-Linux users, 
fewer and fewer Linux users will be interested in helping squash bugs. 
They don't do it with Windows now - they're too busy using their 
computers doing the things they want or need to do - and their attitude 
is that programmers are supposed to fix it, not them.
