Clarky you got it 99% right, you missed one almost crucial thing, that makes linux what it is...
Linux is USUALLY developed by lots of people, developers that submit their code to be entered into the main OS.

Linux is free if you d/l it, rarely do you get a place that gives out free CDS unless you get a hold of Ubuntu
