By the way, I wanted to tell what I was trying to do. My plan was to raise funds for linux desktop(s) from companies and also to convince the governments across the world to adopt linux and get some funds from them too.
I had even sent an email to Germany's finance minister to adopt linux for all the government organizations in Germany. But if people/companies/governments don't get what they want and also no body is asking them, then why would they give funds? So, now I have dropped my plans.
