Though all computer users require linux, everybody (without having technical knowledge) is misguided by technicians (as they have little or no knowledge about OS and linux), that Linux cannot be installed on all machines and it is hard to operate on linux and softwared on linux are of low quality.
For the promotion of Open source and allied technologies, it is a must to increase the users of linux . But, as there is practically not any credible service providers/technicians [ I have a lot of experience of such incidents], people are baised towards closed technologies( they are ready to adopt pirated softwares even after knowing the risk beyond it). It is a fact that there is scarcity of skilled persons for services ( or they are not readly available to public, or people don't know who are those persons). For example setting up LTSP or configuring 3G usb datanetwork etc. The persons who are well versed with these skills are not available to the public and/or people doesn't know them. I think it would be a good idea for setting up a panel of technicians in each field for example installation specialist, modem specialist ltsp specialist etc. These specialists should be well versed with that particular area and should be able to solve any problem regarding that area (because nothing is impossible in linux prespective). Also there should be wide publicity regarding the availabilty of such service so that people can contact the panel for the solution. As it requires money for at least for the raw requirements, service charge can be imposed on such services. If anybody like the idea I shall further elaborate the points.
