As the poll suggests, I'm curious as to the viability of making a living with Linux.

I've never made a dime off of Linux.

I wish I could make money administering/installing Linux systems.

As it is I just have to fix Windows pcs.

I haven't, but i'm sure with the relevent qualifications u can earn more in a job with the certs.

I'm the same, fixing windows boxes of acquaintences has brought me a lot more money than anything linux related. I expected there to be small numbers in the first two options, but I'm surprised at the results were so heavily weighted on the last option, despite the small votecount.

Pure Linux / BSD hobbyist. It makes me happy. F%@k the money.

On the other hand, I work in IT and working with an OSS operating system has helped me understand other proprietary systems and applications much better. So in that sense, maybe it has indirectly gotten me more $$ (through promotions)?

i work in support and a few of our clients use Linux servers. i'm the one who gets asked all the Linux questions so technically it's part of my job. But other than that, no.
