i agree with Biju. The deal is that programmers working on Windows Platform,with a year's experience gets 20Ktake home plus perks and benefits.
If the Linuxenthusiasts gets lessdough then his Windows counterpart, no matter what you say about sharin' and open source, or whatever, its gonna serve as a detterent to him and thus to the FLOSS,etc. movements also.
I say this because I have gone through this stage, and though now I am a wiser, a couple of years ago,I was ready to put Linux as nothing but just a hobby cuz "out there" no one seemed to pay you enough for it.

The Salary shd be no less than 12k take home if the guys exceptionally talented, no need for much exp.
A good C on GNU-Linux\Unix programmer with one year exp shd get no less than 20,000 take home.
Tests and interviews shd be kept rigourous but salary shd not be a compromise for the right talent.
The above statements are my personal opinion.
