Hi Sufyan. Unfortuately, I don't have contact points and such, but I maintain a webpage which contains links to news articles which can be used as reasoning to use Linux instead of Windows. http://www.lugod.org/microsoft/ The content there is varied, and includes everything from news about Microsoft's monopolistic behavior to horrible worms and viruses that plague Windows users. However, there's a 'filter' you can apply to the listing which includes pro-Linux topics: http://www.lugod.org/microsoft/?filter=linux Pay special note to articles which also have "Capitol" icons next to them as those would cover both Linux/Open Source success _AND_ government organizations around the world. (You can filter for "Fed" articles via: http://www.lugod.org/microsoft/?filter=fed ... unfortunately, I have no method for filtering on BOTH, but it should be fast enough to skim the article titles :^) ) Another good site I just (re)discovered is O'Reilly's "OSdir.com" news site: http://www.osdir.com/ Some recent articles there, for example, include: Cuba dumps Windows for Linux http://www.osdir.com/Article5566.phtml and: Intel, Novell say Linux gains on Microsoft Brazil http://www.osdir.com/Article5549.phtml Good luck!!! -- -bill!
