On the subject of Linux evangelism
,----[ Quote ]
| The moral to the story, summed up, is âmake sure it suits their
| needsâ and âif youâre going to switch someone to Linux, go big or
| go homeâ. Donât be a jerk about it, above all else. My Aunt Jean
| was about as perfect a candidate for which one could hopeâ she
| wasnât tied to any particular Windows applications, she was tired
| of the Windows headaches (patching, spyware, re-patching, driver
| struggles, more spyware, viruses, oh hey, did I mention patching?),
| but not only that, she was tired of the whole Windows user
| paradigm, and was welcoming a change to the user experience.
|
| It wasnât a tough sell, and face it, it should never be. If it is,
| you arenât honestly thinking of what the user needsâ youâre just
| thinking about being right. Yes, you ARE right, but thatâs
| immaterial.
|
| Letâs not forget that the user â even the non-technical one â is
| still what this is about.

Want to try Linux, but are afraid to?

| After playing around with the live CD for a while you will realise
| that although there is a lot of programs packed into the CD, it is
| not that useful for long term use. Changed settings are lost and
| memory is limited. The next step is to install Linux to some free
| space on your hard drive to enable you to have a proper test of
| this exciting new operating system.
