| Most Linux adepts will agree Linux could have a higher market share than it
| does today, if it had been marketed more effectively in the past. Therefore,
| lots of those adepts stress “Linux needs more marketing!” Some efforts have
| been done, most notably I remember the Indy 500 car which advertised Linux,
| and more recently the "We're Linux" Video Contest by Linux Foundation. One
| question hasn't been answered as of yet however: What's the goal of marketing
