Red Hat wrestles with Linux apathy
,----[ Quote ]
| What would you say to partners still sceptical about Linux?
|
| They are sceptical because the market maturity is still lacking behind the US
| or Europe, and skill levels are not as sophisticated. As with anything
| technology driven, it's always received with scepticism. Smaller companies
| find it harder to trust something they do not know, when a Microsoft package
| feels much easier. The education and Linux knowledge is still lacking so we
| will work with universities to get people trained in Linux and open source.
| In our meetings with partners here, there is a concern about the lack of
| skills.
