Every time H-P and Dell speak about Linux, the RSS feeds get wiped by
variations of this news. Other more minor stories leak out of viewing
threshold. Why? Because every Australian/Chinese/African daily newspaper
writes about it. Suddenly, when Joe Bloggs is advised to try Linux he would
respond differently. He read about it in the paper. I remember the time when
my mom told me she has read about Linux and Firefox in the newspaper. It
changed her perception completely. She then made some enquiries.
