Today I read a blog post from the technology section of Canada.com. In the post, the author mentioned about Apple’s App Store in which it is really true that “there’s an App for that”. He was saying that there are over 100,000 applications available on App Store and you can find anything you want. As a Linux user myself, I have to say that Linux users have been enjoying this for a long time ever since the availability of package management tools. More to that, Linux users have been enjoying it for free. Although the number of applications available may not be as many as App Store, but you can find much more complex and functional programs in Linux. [...] [...] Linux Version of App Store?

However, I have an apprehension about a Linux app store. What I am afraid of is that when it becomes widely popular on the Linux platform and then we begin to see paid apps on the Linux software management centers, are the developers not going to begin concentrating fully on the paid ones? If they do, eventually, the one greatest advantage the Linux software management centers have on all other platforms will begin to wane. I'd like to hear you views, what do you think?
