And it still sucks to charge 20 bucks just for a boxed Ubuntu CD, even with the price of the CD, packaging, and transporting, they're still making a good bit of profit off of a free-as-in-beer product.

Bomus for Linux!

Like it or not, that's human psychology. Many people who do not know better also perceive something that has a price as being more valuable than something that is free.
