Where is the value in Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| For some companies which I know of they value Linux because it is free and has 
| better support for the applications they wish to use. Some use it for their 
| databases, others use Linux in the products they manufacturer, PBX's for example. 
| Even though the Linux operating system itself is free they still purchase support 
| contracts for that finger pointing feeling which is so important in enterprise 
| culture.
