When it comes to Linux and Open Source software in general, how ideological are you?
Feel free to elaborate as much as you feel like, but please refrain from fighting
I only use open source software!
I feel strongly about OSS, but willing to compromise
I support OSS but use a variety of tools
I don't really care about OSS, just what tool is best
I hate OSS but am hanging out on an Ubuntu forum anyway
Some other view that can't be summed up in a poll

Linux is an Operating System, that's it, nothing more, nothing less.

I just use the tools that get the job done. Slackware servers, Ubuntu desktops, Windows machines.
If you don't make backups of your important data, your data is obviously not important to you.
Kernel? Operating system? Something else? I'm not too worried about pinning down a definition of the word "system" that will satisfy everyone: "it" works for me.

For the time being, after my open source OS is loaded, to have a utilised desktop environment I need proprietary nVidia driver,
to upload photos I need Adobe flash player,
to play some media I need restricted plugins,
and I'm using Google Chrome [because it's getting updated a lot quicker than Chromium and with mobile broadband it doesn't seem the best idea to compile directly from source] and some non-free extensions to get my daily tasks done
