Quit trying to convert cyber cafes. Get home users to use Linux first and
to
do that, get students to learn Linux first.
I think multiple things tried out in parallel will have a greater impact than those carried out in isolation.So, cyber cafes have to be targeted . However , I agree with you that making students learn Linux is important. I would like to give my own example. I had very little exposure to computers before I joined Fr. CRCE (Agnel) , Bandra . In our college , we were made to use only Linux ( and Mac and Solaris to some extent but no windows ) . As result , I had to install and start using Linux at my home and got used to it. To do my BE project I went to KReSIT , IITB --- here also I found that only Linux is used . ( I also seen one slogan on one if the guy's t-shirt saying " I am the lone supporter of M$ in this camus " ). As a result , when I stepped into my company TCS I was looking out for Linux . Fortunately , my project was on AIX and I got to work under some UNIX gurus and we were successful in convincing people that Linux was suitable and sart using Linux and related technologies. I firmly believe that by switching to Linux companies can save lot of money and increase their costs . Regards, Sourabh -- www.yuj.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
