How Do We Introduce FOSS and Linux to Those Who Resist It?

,----[ Quote ]
| At home, it’s more manageable, in a way. You have less users to deal with but 
| they could be more stubborn than 10 other users combined. In any case, it’s 
| easier to study the habits of your family and/or housemates compared to an 
| entire organization. Studying them will take time and interaction with them 
| too. But then you get to have a better grasp of what software they need, what 
| tasks they need to accomplish etc. In an office, it gets trickier because 
| each person has different needs and there’s a whole lot of them so you have 
| to study them a lot.
