How to sell Linux to IT consulting clients

,----[ Quote ]
| In such a Windows-centric world, pitching 
| Linux to clients who are not tech savvy is 
| not as hard as you might think â you just 
| have to know the product and know where (and 
| how) the product fits into the clientâs 
| infrastructure. Here are some examples.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Let clients try Linux
| 
| If a client wants to play around with Linux 
| to see if it will fit their needs, a really 
| good approach is to give the client a Live CD 
| of a distribution and tell them to boot it 
| up. The Live instance will not change their 
| current OS, and they could get easily get an 
| idea if Linux will work. You can take this 
| one step further by rolling your own Live CD 
| (with a tool such as SUSE Studio) and adding 
| your branding to the desktop, as well as to 
| applications you think the client will want 
| and/or need.

What is the Best Distribution of Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux comes in a wide variety of flavors,
| better known as distributions.  Such an
| array can make choosing between them very
| difficult for both the experienced
| administrator as well as the new user
| migrating from a different operating system.
| Making a decision isnât easy, but we will do
| our best to simplify the process of
| selecting the ideal Linux distribution for
| your needs.
