Linux has never been a "for dummies" OS - nor has any other unix. It was, is
and will remain a power user's desktop / workstation / server.
As for applying linux to our lives -
* Your email / website etc are hosted on linux boxes
* Some movies you see have linux behind them (for ex: the beowulf clusters used
by Industrial Lights and Magic
* Lots of agricultural etc records are stored on linux / other unix machines,
and made available at public access terminals around India - the simputer
will help a lot in this respect ...).
* Someone (I think CV Radhakrishnan) posted that a major newspaper uses linux
for production / editing.
* A major hotel group (Taj I think) uses linux for backend processing ...
