Alan, I feel that the time for advertising Linux as-a-desktop OS is at hand. I know advertising is expensive and the companies creating distros are not
wallowing in surplus cash. There is a common focus-point in Linus Torvolds and an even more-recognized mascot in Tux the Penguin. I can envision one of the first commercials:
Frustrated Windoze user after Linux install:" I can't believe how easy this is. And IT DOESN"T CRASH like my old system!".
Helpful Dell-like kid:" Dude, you've got Linux!".
All silliness aside, What are the chances of promoting desktop Linux as a collaboration effort of the distro companies and maybe even some help from IBM, Sun and others?
Thanks,
Dave Lowe
