Question Confused Gnutella newbie

Hello.

Recently today I heard about Gnutella, while browsing some Napster and MP3 related pages. I tried to learn more about it, but have still some doubts I know someone with a little more experience may easily answer.

* Gnutella is just a protocol, right? That is why there are several client implementations out there. When trying to search for one, I was not able to find the one called Gnutella. There are several with similar names, like Newtella or Gnotella. But everybody talks about the Gnutella client. I guess it was the original one. Where is it now?

*Im currently downloading one to check it out, LimeWire Windows 98 client. Why do these peolple build such a software for free? I mean, what is the idea, desibes helping people share their files?

* The www.gnutella.com/org website was the fisrt place I though would be useful to learn about Gnutella. But there is just one sign that says: "its all okay". Can anybody explain??

at last, which client do you recommend??
