I don't actually know about an explosion, I do sincerely believe that it would
lead to a definite increase in the use of free software. The main reason that
I have found for people not using free software is basically
non-availability. Not everyone knows about LUGs. Now, if you could download
something like mandrake at home at an affordable price, there would be quite
a few people downloading and using it. Although I agree that LUGs should try
and buy boxed copies of distros, downloaded copies still rule the roost. I
don't see why this should not continue.
My 2 cents ( or paise ;-) )
