Your thinking is spot on. Lot of people are into improving & developing Linux, while this is important, more important is the spreading Linux OS, as development will have very little meaning if the OS itself dose not spread. More people should get involved in organising workshops & help in supporting them. This will go a long way in removing lack of knowledge & fear of OS. sutanu
