Definitely. I just haven't found much software worth buying. The only
commercial software on my Debian laptop is Wordperfect Office 2000 (not a
great product, but better than any other office software I've found for
Linux. Hopefully StarOffice 6 will be good.)

The commerical products offered for Linux, in general, suck.
