Linux: the geek grows up
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago, Dell struck a blow for Linux by announcing its
| intention to offer consumer-level machines with the system
| pre-installed... the first crack in an otherwise
| Windows-dominated PC market.

Buy! Buy! Buy! - into Openness

| The effects have been dramatic, with Dell now promising to sell systems
| with pre-installed GNU/Linux. The question then must be, how can we
| build on that success to achieve maximum impact?

Linux is Mainstream

| We Linux users are part of the mainstream now, Paul. Linux is not just
| for geeks. For one, governments the world over are adapting to change,
| and thus driving it faster. In a few years, entire
| cities/states/countries will see vastly increased number of Linux
| users. People who use them in offices/schools will tell the others.
| I trust them to. Good news can't be stopped from spreading. Oh, and
| Bill Gates' (or Microsoft's) first clients were geek hobbyists (a
| minority that was not part of the mainstream), and computers used to
| be a hobby back then. Look at where we are now.
