I believe there is a widespread need to spread awareness on *nix systems. People need those, not just because Linux is free of cost, but also for its stability and freedom it provides. The problem, as I mentioned, is lack of awareness and support. Someone has to not only spread the awareness, but also stand up as a single point, affordable, contact regarding all guidance and troubleshooting. There is a good market once you do that.
I personally use Linux in my company and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody. But I have my own battles to fight, and can only be a supporter. But I see some really passionate folks out here. See if you guys want to take it up as a challenge. In the good old days, when Microsoft platforms were not very popular, the unix geeks looked down upon Windows systems as being point-and-click. They remained in their own heaven while Microsoft focussed on usability. The result is in front of us. The moral of the story is: Usability and good commercials are quite important. Linux gives us the power... let's see if someone wants to stand up to tap the opportunity provided by it. /Ashish -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
