Hello:

I merely forwarded this post.
As the entry level remarks  by the author indicate, not too many still know about 
Linux. 
What it implies is that Linux evangelists must work harder to reach the ordinary users 
of PCs. In other words, non-techies.
And BTW: Microsoft is now investing heavily in cultivating college students. At the 
same time, student radicals in UP appear to be the shrillest voices opposed to the 
university president's decision to migrate completly to Linux, excepting applications 
which have no non-propietary equivalents.
And never forget: where UP goes socially and politically, so does the rest of the 
nation eventually. A successful Linux implementation there could very well signal the 
fact that this tropical archipelago could yet be the computing islands of the Penguin 
in the near future.
