Linux, FUD and Misunderstanding

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is not struggling anywhere, at-least not in my knowledge or on my 
| Desktop.

| installed on every computer in world, but to provide a free Operating System 
| to anyone who NEEDS it.

| day-to-day problems. Being an advocacy and a support group, FOSSFA emphasizes 
| the opportunities that open source offers to Africa in reaching its 
| development goals in all socio-economic areas.

| about choosing between Windows and Linux and more about choosing between
| crippled and âjust works.â
