Yes indeed!  I have had far better results in getting support for GNU/Linux 
and its various applications than I've had with any Windows app.  For most 
programs there are discussion lists where you can post questions, and 99% of 
the time you'll get a solution for your problem within the hour.  I have had 
people from these lists send me scripts in order to customize a program's 
source code specifically for my needs, and in many instances I've been able 
to communicate directly with the author of a program to fix a problem.  Try 
doing that with a commercial application!  The sense of community out there 
is amazing.
