HP: Debian Cha Ching!
And you thought HP was squeezing all the money it could from your poor wallet when you purchase its ink replacement cartridges. Well apparently, there's lots of profit margin in offering support services for Debian, one of the top ten most popular (entirely free) open source distributions, and the basis for the exceedingly popular Ubuntu. HP reported $25 million in sales in its European, Middle East and Asia market segment in 2006 as a direct result of its Debian support. Cha-Ching! That's no pocket change and even exceeds HP's own forecast.
Clearly, there are alternatives to commercial distributions and companies who tool up to support them can add a nice, fat profit to their bottom line.
