I agree with one thing! Not half of the country but very few people know about Linux and that is true for Microsoft too!
This is something very funny for someone who can pay loads of money to tranxnational company like MS for thier software. In the Sri Lankan situation an assembled PC would cost around $500 and that too is very very expensive for most of the people in SL. Can somene imagine spending half of their income in an year (the average income in SL is around $1000) on PC and another hefty sum on proprietory software. This where the Linux come in. At present no one cares about Linux. But some one has to start some where. This is the time it has to start.
